ABSTRACT:
This invention comprises a two-piece cover for binding a plurality of sheets into a booklet or brochure. The front cover panel is adapted to having printed material applied to one side by use of a standard photocopy or offset printing equipment. After application of the printed design on the front cover panel, the booklet is assembled by securing the front cover panel to the rear cover panel. The front cover panel is secured to the edge of a stack of sheets by securing means or staples. The rear cover panel contains a flap portion situated along a longitudinal side edge which is delineated from the remaining rectangular portion of the rear cover panel by two hinge-forming scorelines. The distance between the two scorelines is slightly greater than the height of the stack of sheets. The front cover panel is brought into contact with an adhesive strip having a release strip situated on the longitudinal side edge of the rear cover panel so that the bottom sheet contacts it, whereupon the release strip is removed and is adhered to the rear side of the bottom sheet of the stack. The flap portion is folded along the scorelines and brought into contact with the longitudinal side edge of the front cover panel at the securing means location. The release strip is removed, whereby the flap portion adheres to the longitudinal side edge of the front cover panel along the adhesive strip, thereby covering the securing means and resulting in the booklet.
