Abstract

A postal mailer that, while being thin enough to comply with postal size regulations, opens into a three dimensional graphic object capable of conveying to the recipients clear or subtle messages in the form of flat or nearly flat objects such as notes, letters, pictures, gift cards, tickets, cash, and drawings. The three-dimensional graphic object is more attractive than typical mailers, and becomes a memorable, integral part of the message.
