Definitions

• a mailer set which has one or more interior plies located between a front and a back ply.
• a perforated thumb notch is positioned along the left hand edge of the mailer set in the upper portion of that edge.
• Another thumb c notch is positioned in the approximate center of the right hand edge of the mailer set.
• All of the interior plies have a perforated line passing down their right handed edge, which line is inboard of the right hand thumb notch. In those instances where there are multiple interior plies, Q the perforated lines are coincident one with another.
• Figure 2 pictorially illustrates the herein proposed mailer set configuration in which the opposite thumb notches are shown in their preferred locations.
• Figure 5 pictorially illustrates the mailer set of FIG. 4 with a portion of the front ply peeled away and further illustrates the glue line beneath the front ply.
• Figure 6 illustrates the mailer set of FIG. 4 with stubs attached to enable feeding through a user's printer.
• thumb notches 22 and 24 obviously are not simultaneously and equally applied to the perforated thumb notch 22 and the perforated interior ply lines 26 ( Figure 3) .
• the prior art system has a thumb e notch directly across from the snap perforation. This causes the user to attempt to break all of the perforation ties simultaneously. With the thumb notches offset, one from another, the perforation ties are broken in sequence starting with the ties adjacent to the second 10 printed thumb notch and moving toward both corners of the inner ply or plies. This allows the interior plies to snap out much easier.
• the outside plies 58,60 and interior ply or plies 38 are joined together by glue or other means at points to the left of 30 perforated line 50.
• the thumb notch 32 is formed by perforating the outside plies 5S,60.along line 52, the perforated line on the back outer ply 60 (not shown) formed so as to be coincident with the perforated line 52 on the front outer ply 58.
• the inner ply or plies 38 is not perforated along line 52.
• the perforations along line 52 are nearly continuous. As will be explained below, the near continuous perforations on line 52 are used to assure that the perforated sections 32 of the front and back plies 58,60 tear out when end strip 36 is removed.
• the user grasps gripping section 34 between the fingers of one of his hands and grasps the inner ply or plies with the fingers of his other hand in the area 32 circumscribed by line 52, the notched sections
