Postal envelope designed to contain one or more objects with two-dimensional development, in particular cards, cds, dvds, or credit cards

Abstract

A postal envelope for containing one or more objects with two-dimensional development is formed starting from a sheet, with two flaps that fold on the sheet like a book. The first flap forms a pocket designed to receive the two-dimensional object. The second flap comes to cover the remaining uncovered part of the sheet. The first flap is glued to the sheet at its three free sides so as to prevent the object from coming out. To take the two-dimensional object out of the envelope the first flap has, at a short distance from its area of the long side glued on the sheet, a tear-away strip, the length of which accommodates the two-dimensional object contained in the pocket and which is shaped so that, by being removed, it will define a slit through which the two-dimensional object contained in the envelope can be easily taken out.

1 ) A postal envelope designed to contain one or more objects with two-dimensional development, in particular at least one ticket, one credit card, one CD, or one DVD, wherein:
 said postal envelope is formed starting from a sheet ( 1 ) provided with two flaps ( 2 ,  3 ) that fold on the sheet like a book, of which the first flap ( 2 ) forms a pocket designed to receive the two-dimensional object, while the second flap ( 3 ) comes to cover the remaining uncovered part ( 4 ) of the sheet;   said first flap ( 2 ) is glued to the sheet ( 1 ) at three free sides of the sheet so as to prevent the two-dimensional object (B) from coming out, either from the long side or from the short sides;   in order to be able to take the two-dimensional object (B) out of the envelope the first flap ( 2 ) has, at a short distance from an area (A) of the long side glued on the sheet, a tear-away strip ( 6 ), the length of which is commensurate with that of the two-dimensional object (B) contained in the pocket and which is shaped so that, after the tear-away strip has been removed, a slit is defined (5) through which the two-dimensional object (B) contained in the envelope can be easily taken out.   
     
     
         2 ) The postal envelope as per  claim 1  wherein the strip ( 6 ) is defined by a tear-open contour line (P 2 ) that facilitates the tearing operation and delimits the slit ( 5 ). 
     
     
         3 ) The postal envelope as per  claim 1 , wherein the ticket (B) can be taken out only following upon tearing-away of the strip ( 6 ), which renders evident any possible tampering of the envelope by ill-intentioned persons. 
     
     
         4 ) The postal envelope as per  claim 1 , wherein the second flap ( 3 ), once folded like a book, can be used as a coupon or an illustrative print that can be glued to the sheet only at the edge of longer side thereof; detachment from the envelope being obtained thanks to the presence of a first predefined easy-tear line positioned underneath the gluing area (A 19  on the sheet  1 ) and of a second easy-tear line positioned along a bottom folding line (P 3 ). 
     
     
         5 ) The postal envelope as per  claim 1 , wherein also the foldable bottom part ( 3 ) is glued along the three free sides on the sheet ( 1 ) and is also provided with a tear-away strip ( 6 ), which is also provided along contour thereof with a perforated line (P 2 ) and defines a second slit ( 5 ) having the same shape and size as the first slit present on the top part. 
     
     
         6 ) The postal envelope as per  claim 2 , wherein the second flap ( 3 ), once folded like a book, can be used as a coupon or an illustrative print that can be glued to the sheet only at the edge of longer side thereof; detachment from the envelope being obtained thanks to the presence of a first predefined easy-tear line positioned underneath the gluing area (A 19  on the sheet  1 ) and of a second easy-tear line positioned along a bottom folding line (P 3 ). 
     
     
         7 ) The postal envelope as per  claim 3 , wherein the second flap ( 3 ), once folded like a book, can be used as a coupon or an illustrative print that can be glued to the sheet only at the edge of longer side thereof; detachment from the envelope being obtained thanks to the presence of a first predefined easy-tear line positioned underneath the gluing area (A 19  on the sheet  1 ) and of a second easy-tear line positioned along a bottom folding line (P 3 ).
