ABSTRACT:
A two-way envelope especially designed for use by Public Utilities, credit companies, mail order retailers and similar companies which have to send statements, bills, advertising brochures and/or offers and want to receive back payments or orders from their clients or consommers by return of mail. The envelope is made of one piece and comprises a flat pocket for receiving at least one document to be mailed or mailed back, and a flap integrally extending the upper edge of the top surface of this pocket. This flap comprises a first portion identical in size to the bottom surface of the pocket, and a second portion smaller in size than the top surface of the pocket. A first folding line is provided onto the flap adjacent the pocket to allow this flap to be folded upon the pocket to close with the first portion of the flap extending flat on the bottom surface of the pocket. A second folding line is provided on the flap at the junction between the first and second portions thereof, to allow the second portion of the flap to be folded back over the top surface of the pocket after the first portion has been folded upon the bottom surface thereof. First and second adhesive strip are provided on the first portion of the flap close to the second portion, and on the second portion. First and second name-and-address placement are provided at suitable locations onto the pocket or flap to display the name and address of the addressee when the envelope is mailed in one way and subsequently is the other.
