ABSTRACT:
A business mail envelope is designed to enable it to be used as mail cover for both initial sending and for reply return using printed magnetic ink marking or optical character recognition markings, allowing use compatibly with manual sorting and electronic scanning sorting equipment. The original delivery address remains visible on the face of the envelope when received as return reply mail, but a second flap is used to cover the original postage and cancellation and to key a reader to read the return address rather than the original delivery address. The second flap, used during return mailing, may have a narrower portion coinciding with the position of the return address so that the return address remains exposed when the second flap is sealed to the front face of the envelope. Optical scanner readable key markings may be placed on the second flap to key the scanner to read the return address, and return address bar code information may be placed on the envelope to simplify reading by optical scanning equipment.
