Abstract
A method and apparatus designed to facilitate sending items via the mail or other package delivery system in a uniquely designed container. The invention consists of three subassembly layers that are combined via adhesive to form the mailer. One of the unique aspects of the invention is the center subassembly that is not only sandwiched between but also protrudes from the front and back exterior assemblies. The center subassembly, or graphical composite, may be made from variously shaped and colored materials to produce a recognizable or fanciful sign, symbol or picture. The container subassembly houses the item being transported and may be a postcard, envelope, CD sleeve, book cover, or other type of container or communication device.
