An embossment formation area is formed on one surface of envelope paper. The embossment formation area is left-right symmetric with respect to a centerline including the centerline parallel to a paper feed direction (transport direction), and is formed rearward over a predetermined length from a leading end in the paper feed direction. An embossment has convexes that are equal in height to or higher than the thickness of transparent film attached to a window, that is, a thickness change portion. Even when many sheets of the envelope paper are stacked, the envelope paper can be fed without causing a double feed or a no-load feed.

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.

A data carrier in card form includes a card body, which has a first card surface, a second card surface, and a peripheral border. The peripheral border connects the first card surface to the second card surface. The peripheral border also has a first border portion with at least one cutout, with at least one cutout being at least partially filled with a color material, in order in this way to provide a color effect for the first border portion. A method is provided for producing a data carrier in card form.

An apparatus for mailing a gift card contains a first card and a first removable card. The gift card is represented by the first removable card and is positioned within a first receiving slot. The first receiving slot is positioned across a first flap of the first card and traverses through the first flap. More specifically, the first removable card is perimetrically attached to the first flap such that the user can conveniently remove the gift card when necessary. The first card is provided with a second flap which allows the user to print mailing information and other product related details. If multiple gift cards are to be provided a second removable card can also be included with the apparatus. Similar, to the first removable card, the second removable card will also be perimetrically attached to the first flap.

A long medium has a start end, a final end, a first side edge connecting the start end and the final end, and a second side edge connecting the start end and the final end. The long medium includes first reference holes formed at a first pitch along the first side edge, N pieces of first conveyance holes formed along the first side edge at a second pitch smaller than the first pitch, and formed between adjacent first reference holes, in which N is a positive integer, first index holes formed along the first side edge at a third pitch smaller than the first pitch and respectively positioned in first index hole forming areas each set between the adjacent first reference holes, and second reference holes formed at the first pitch along the second side edge.

A code presentation arrangement (10) consists of a carrier (20) and a card (30) attached to the carrier (20) or consists only of a card (30), wherein the card (30) or the carrier (20) respectively has a code presentation side (21b) on which a code (12) is applied. To enable more pleasant exposure of the code and more reliable detection of a code that has already been exposed, the code (12) on the code presentation side (21b) is covered by an opaque cover section (24) of the carrier (20) or an opaque cover section of the card (30), wherein the respective cover section is attached to the code presentation side (21b) by permanent adhesive strips (25) positioned along the edges of the code (12), and wherein the respective cover section in the area of the code (12) between the permanent adhesive strips (25) has a detachable tear-off tab (26) through which the code (12) can be exposed by pulling from the side facing away from the code (12).

Provided is an electronic waybill, which relates to the technical field of logistics. The electronic waybill includes a base layer and a surface layer, where the surface layer is disposed on a side of the base layer, the base layer and the surface layer collectively constitute an information-bearing surface configured to bear waybill information, and after the surface layer is removed from the base layer, part of the waybill information is retained on the base layer and the other part of the waybill information is retained on the surface layer.
