ABSTRACT:
A reuseable mailer type business form has an initial mailing configuration addressed to an outgoing addressee, and a reply mailing configuration addressed to a reply addressee. The mailer complies with the postal requirement that no part of the outgoing address or postage (including postal service applied bar coding) appear on the mailer in the reply configuration. The mailer includes a front opaque ply with at least one cut-out, and at least one removable strip adjacent an edge, including a perforation line. Postage indicia are visible at the upper right-hand corner of the front ply. A rear opaque ply has a fold line adjacent an edge, and coincident with the perforation line of the front ply. A flap is defined between the fold line and the adjacent edge. At least one insert ply (between the front and rear plies) having outgoing address information visible through the cutout when the mailer is in the initial mailing configuration is provided. Various structures are provided for rendering non-viewable all outgoing addressee postage information when the mailer is converted between the initial and reply configurations. Such structure can be a second removable strip adjacent a different edge than the first removable strip, or a second cutout provided in the front ply for viewing the outgoing postage (on the insert ply).
