Self-Mailer - All mail can be divided into three types: envelope mail, "flats," (large pieces requiring hand rather than machine handling) and "self-mailers" cards (on card stock) or folded pieces of paper placed in the mail stream without an outside carrier. The majority of catalogs are mailed without an envelope as "self-mailers," or "flats." "Three by five" cards can be mailed most economically.
