Abstract

This document carrier includes a front sheet and a back sheet which form a check receiving enclosure. The front sheet is formed of translucent or transparent material and permits the check to be read, photographed or microfilmed. The front sheet or the bottom sheet or both sheets are coated on the inside of the document carrier pocket with the bars of pressure sensitive adhesive of a type that does not require a liner over the adhesive to keep it from adhering to the opposite sheet. The pressure sensitive adhesive will peel easily from the opposite sheet permitting insertion of the check or other document. After the document is inserted, the adhesive on the back of the front sheet or on the front of the back sheet or on both sheets will hold the document in the document carrier. The left edge of the document carrier can be open allowing large documents to extend from the left side and not be folded. Small checks in large document carriers will not change position. In areas not filled by an inserted document, the document carrier will be held together by the pressure sensitive adhesive making the document carrier stronger.

The document carrier which comprises a rectangular back sheet and a rectangular front sheet, the back sheet being provided with a surface of vellum to accept magnetic indicia, said front sheet being formed of translucent material through which the document can be easily read, said front and back sheets being secured by glue lines along the bottom edge and along at least one side edge, pressure sensitive adhesive bars, positioned to seal an inserted document in said document carrier, the pressure sensitive adhesive bars being of a type that permits the front sheet and the back sheet to be easily peeled apart to allow insertion of the document, said bars being located inside the pocket into which the document is to be inserted, whereby the pressure sensitive adhesive will hold the document inside the carrier permitting the document to be removed without damage.

2. The document carrier of claim 1 wherein one side edge is left open permitting the insertion of large documents extending beyond the length of the carrier.

3. The document carrier of claim 1 wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive bars will hold the front sheet against the inserted document insuring better quality reading and microfilming.

4. The document carrier of claim 1 wherein the pressure sensitive glue bars are located on the back of the front sheet.
