A folding postcard has a panoramic image imprinted on a first face of a quadrate print material. It is divided into image segment panels with scorings to facilitate folding image panels upon themselves to create a mailable or shippable package. The dimensions of the image segment panels are set such a first and third image segment panel allows the folded panoramic image to be folded and sealed with an adhesive postage token or stamp. The length of the first image segment panel is reduced by a fractional amount. The length of the first image segment panels is equal to the length of the average length of the image segment panels. The remaining segment panels are each decreased by a small percentage of the previous image segment panel to ensure that the folding postcard is folded and each image segment panel is folded relatively flat.

An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, a pressure sealing processing apparatus, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to permit execution of the pressure sealing processing process by the pressure sealing processing apparatus on a recording material of which a grammage is smaller than a predetermined grammage, and is configured not to permit execution of the pressure sealing processing process by the pressure sealing processing apparatus on a recording material of which a grammage is equal to or more than the predetermined grammage.
