Abstract
Readily sealable containers which do not require the moistening of dry adhesive layers or the use of removable release liners to protect pressure sensitive adhesive layers. Although the containers may have many applications and uses, they have particular advantages for shipping and mailing purposes. Thus, envelopes and shipping boxes are notable embodiment examples. In general terms, two facing sections of the container have layers of an adhesive substance and a release substance, arranged in such a manner that when the two facing sections are in contact with one another, the adhesive substance layers face the release substance, preventing a permanent sealing of the container, and then, the positioning of another section of the container, free of any adhesive or release substance between the two facing sections, which causes the sealing of the container.
