The blank is made of a sheet of paper of a size suitable for processing through imaging machines, such as ink jet printers and laser printers. For example, the blank may be made 8&#xbd; by 11&#xbd; inches. The blank includes a front side for receiving printing thereon and at least one removable section in the card. The removable section is formed with a fold line that divides the section into two equal parts for subsequent folding onto each other. Both parts of the removable section are coated with an adhesive on the back side and a polymer sheet, for example, of polyester, is provided over the adhesive on one part of the removable section. A backing sheet, for example, of silicone coated paper is provided over the adhesive on the other part of the removable section. The blank may be provided with a plurality of removable sections so that multiple coupons may be formed from a single blank. In addition, the blank may be printed on both the front side and back side in order to provide information.

Blank and method for making coupon cards

A rectangular mailing envelope is formed with perforations running transversely, that is, in the direction of the width of the envelope, adjacent to one end to define a pull tab. Removal of this pull tab provides a large access opening for easy retrieval of a loose insert which may comprise a single message on a paper or a return envelope together with other documents. By providing transverse perforations to define the tab, the envelopes can be mass-produced at high speeds by moving plies of paper in the direction of the width of the envelopes, the perforated paths running in the direction of movement of the plies so that the perforations can be formed while the plies are in motion.
