Abstract
A mailer intermediate includes a generally rectangular sheet of printable, postcard stock having first and second side edges, first and second end edges, and first and second faces. A fold line extends substantially transverse to the side edges and substantially bisects them, whereby the sheet is divided by the fold line into first and second postcard portions. An adhesive pattern is provided on the first face of the sheet, adjacent at least one of the first and second end edges, for securing the first and second postcard portions together adjacent the first and second end edges. Adhesive patterns on the first face of the sheet adjacent the first and second side edges are provided only near the fold line, whereby the first face of the first and second postcard portions are not adhered together along a substantial majority of the extent of the first and second side edges of the first and second postcard portions. The fold line may be defined by a line of weakness, such as for example a perforation line. Additionally, the sheet may have additional perforation lines that define marginal portions in which the adhesive is positioned. These marginal portions can be torn from the mailer by the recipient, permitting the mailer to be opened.
