The panel has a plurality of tabs and each of the tabs engages a card thereby facilitating the envelope to contain the card when the envelope is mailed.

A gift card folder for securing a gift card is described. The gift card folder may be composed of a single sheet of substantially rectangular stationary which has a plurality of creases dividing the single sheet of stationary into panels of which two panels cooperate together to form a pop-up shelf upon manipulation of the gift card folder. A portion of the pop-up shelf comprises one or more slits to secure the gift card in a fixed position during opening or closing of the gift card folder. Further, the gift card folder may optionally include a flap that cooperates with an outer panel to secure the gift card folder in a closed position which compresses the pop-up shelf. When the recipient opens the folder, the gift card folder projects the pop-up shelf outward and towards the recipient of the gift card.

A plurality of marks (11) equidistantly provided on both side edge parts (1a) of a long medium (1), a plurality of first indicator holes (12) equidistantly given on at least one of the side edge parts (1a), and a plurality of second indicator holes (13) given on at least one of the side edge parts (1a) on a straight line different from a row of the first indicator holes (12) at spacings shorter than spacings of the first indicator holes (12) are provided, and the second indicator holes (13) are each provided to a side of a trailing-end mark (11b), and each gradually comes closer to a leading-end mark (11a) as the long medium (1) runs toward a trailing end.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an improved yardage book holder for storing a yardage book as well as a variety of other golf accessories. The yardage book holder comprises a substantially slender thickness and a rectangular profile with rounded corners that allows a golfer to conveniently store the yardage book holder within a pocket in an article of clothing when folded in its fully closed position. The yardage book holder further comprises at least two layers of materials, a plurality of sections, a plurality of compartments, and a strap affixed to one of the sides of the yardage book holder. The strap allows for quick access to the item which it secures and is able to pivot such that it may quickly attach to or detach from the interior or exterior surfaces of the yardage book.

A numbering system is provided having an identifier with hexadecimal, vigesimal, quadrivigesimal, or any other suitable alphanumeric characters includable on a card and an account identifiable using the identifier. The card can be a gift card, a customer loyalty card, or a customer incentive card. An interface may be connected to a communications network that is accessible to associate the identifier with an account and manage funds associable with the account. Funds data may be associable with the account and storable on the remote server, the funds data relating to the funds transferred by a user to a card issuer. The identifier may be storable on the card in an electronically readable format, and may be included on the card via printing and/or imprinting. A method is provided for using the numbering system.

A plurality of marks (11) equidistantly provided on both side edge parts (1a) of a long medium (1), a plurality of first indicator holes (12) equidistantly given on at least one of the side edge parts (1a), and a plurality of second indicator holes (13) given on at least one of the side edge parts (1a) on a straight line different from a row of the first indicator holes (12) at spacings shorter than spacings of the first indicator holes (12) are provided, and the second indicator holes (13) are each provided to a side of a trailing-end mark (11b), and each gradually comes closer to a leading-end mark (11a) as the long medium (1) runs toward a trailing end.

Forms that can be used to make stickers easily on demand, wherein the stickers are of the type in which a face of the sticker that bears printed information (graphic, textual, bar code, security, and/or other) also bears an adhesive that is used to affix the sticker to a desired substrate. A carrier sheet supports a sticker body and an adhesive source. The sticker body and the adhesive are initially separated on the form. The sticker face and the adhesive are registrably positioned with respect to a fold line. This allows the adhesive to be transferred to the sticker face on demand by an easy, desirably manual process that involves folding the form along the fold line. When the form is unfolded, the sticker can be removed and applied to the desired substrate.

A medium of exchange that is not separated from the backing item of value, has variable value and authentication protections sufficient to retain the trust of consumers is formed as a laminate having a backing layer and a precious metal foil layer. The precious metal foil layer has a predetermined weight and the laminate is dividable into multiple portions each one of which is a determinable fraction of the predetermined weight. An authentication seal is formed in an obverse side of the instrument and each one of the multiple portions contains indicia on a rear side thereof identifying the determinable fraction.
