Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shipping envelope for shipping on at least two shipping routes.
  • Such shipping envelopes are used in a variety of fields. They serve to send letters or other items to a recipient and allow the recipient to use the original shipping envelope for at least one further shipment.
  • Examples of this are marketing campaigns and / or the commercial leasing of items that can be transported by mail.
  • Particularly suitable items for - preferably multiple - shipping with mail items are books, CDs and DVDs.
  • DVDs as a media for movies and video games are displacing conventional video tapes or other data media. Reasons for this are both the smaller dimensions and the lower weight of the DVD.
  • DVDs Another important known advantage of DVDs is their multiple playability without noticeable quality loss. Because of this multiple playability of DVDs, there is a growing need to send them to end users, with end users being able to use these DVDs for a predetermined amount of time for a fee that is significantly less than the purchase price of a DVD.
  • a suitable for this purpose shipping envelope is in the German utility model DE 20 2005 007 765 U1 disclosed.
  • This envelope is characterized by the fact that there is a first fold line at the transition from the back to the flap and that the flap through dividing a second fold line parallel to the first fold line into a first section and a second section, the first section being between the first and second fold lines, and wherein the envelope comprises an adhesive strip, the second section being foldable with respect to the first section is trained.
  • FIG. 5 An embodiment of this shipping envelope (there Fig. 5 ) makes it possible to print the recipient address and sender address on the shipping envelope in a single operation.
  • DE 20 2006 002 176 U1 and DE 20 2006 000 855 U1 disclose a mailing envelope for shipping circular media having a rectangular backside portion and a front side portion integrally formed on the backside portion folded over the backside portion and adhered thereto by side gluing portions and reinforcing tabs to form a pocket for the data carrier having an upper dispensing gap results.
  • US 2005/0247769 A1 Openable one-way and two-way mailer for DVDs, CDs . Video games and other such data carriers for sending from a sender to a recipient in the form of a mailpiece.
  • This shipping bag allows improved protection of the data carriers during shipping, whereby the shipping bag including the data carrier weighs no more than 1 ounce.
  • FR 2869879 discloses a shipping envelope having two independently hinged flaps P1 and P3, each connected to the base P2 by a suitable folding line.
  • the shipping envelope is made by folding section P3 under section P2 and then folding these two sections together under section P1.
  • the first address can be seen on the envelope.
  • the section P1 is folded under the section P2 and these two sections again under the section P3, so that in this configuration on the envelope the second address is to be seen.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a shipping envelope that is suitable for shipping on at least two shipping routes and that can be easily produced and / or printed.
  • the object of the invention is also to provide a simple and fast method for the production of the shipping envelope.
  • the process should preferably be suitable for the production of large quantities of shipping envelopes (several hundred, in particular several thousand, shipping envelopes per day).
  • this object is achieved by a shipping envelope according to claim 1 and a method for producing a shipping envelope according to claim 13.
  • the invention provides in particular to provide a shipping envelope with two independently hinged flaps.

  • Such a design of the envelope body with at least two components is particularly suitable when sensitive objects are transported.
  • the shipping envelope is further characterized by having at least two independently hinged flaps, the flaps being configured to overlap in at least a portion in a closed condition, and at least two of the flaps within the portion / or have franking information.
  • At least one of the closing flaps in the closed state substantially covers an entire side surface of the shipping envelope.
  • At least two of the closure flaps in the closed state cover substantially an entire side surface of the shipping envelope.
  • At least two closure flaps are foldable on a common side surface of the letter body.
  • Such a folded shipping envelope has several advantages.
  • this makes it possible to make the shipping envelope particularly stable and to use uniform transport conditions for a return and a return of the shipping envelope.
  • a further expedient embodiment of the shipping envelope is characterized in that at least two closing flaps are arranged on two adjacent side lines of the mailpiece.

  • any adhesives which develop sufficient forces to prevent unfolding of interconnected paper areas when processing mailpieces are suitable.
  • surfaces with which the adhesive strips come into contact during a connection are designed in such a way that the reclosability increases.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment provides in this case to use a paint coating.
  • An advantage of such a paint coating is that it prevents a chemical reaction with the adhesive.
  • Physical bonds in particular adhesion forces, are particularly suitable for achieving resealability since, as a rule, reversibility is higher than for chemical bonds.
  • Such double adhesive tapes are an example of adhesives which allow opening and subsequent reclosing using the same splice.
  • weakening lines are perforation lines, since these can be opened in a particularly simple and reliable manner.
  • weakening lines for example lines that are characterized by a deliberate reduction in paper thickness in the selected areas.
  • the line of weakness is between an adhesive strip and a fold line of the closure flap.
  • the line of weakness is adjacent to the adhesive strip and the line of weakness and the adhesive strip run at least partially parallel to each other. This has the advantage that a separation of the closure flap is further facilitated.
