A fluorescent strip window envelope for use with PC postage printed inserts. The envelope has a front wall and a rear wall, a top edge, a bottom edge, a right edge and a left edge. The envelope has a postage indicia window formed in the front wall in an upper right hand region thereof. The envelope is sized to accommodate at least three tri-folded sheets of standard sized letter paper sheets or a standard business courtesy envelope as inserts such that when the insert is inserted into the envelope there is less than about a 5% skew of the insert relative to the envelope and to expose the postage indicia printed on the insert. The envelope is free of FIM marks, and in lieu thereof has fluorescent strips printed on the right side top edge and the upper right side edge of the envelope.

Fluorescent stripe window envelopes

A sheet having at least one self-adhesive special purpose label arrangement set having a postage indicia label, and preferably a sender label and also preferably an addressee label, and a process for printing these special purpose label arrangement sets. The postage indicia label printed by the process is sized and shaped so that it can be applied to a variety of mail pieces, including mail pieces that have FIM patterns, and the printed postage indicia label can be applied to an upper right hand corner of a mail piece without encroaching on the FIM pattern. The invention also provides a process for printing the self-adhesive special purpose label arrangement set with postage indicia, sender information, and addressee information.
