Glossary of Terms 2 Forward – The EMA Guide to Envelopes & Mailing The envelope is only a folded piece of paper yet it is an important part of our national communications system. The power of the envelope is the power to touch someone else in a very personal way. The envelope has been used to convey important messages of national interest or just to say “hello.” It may contain a greeting card sent to a friend or relative, a bill or other important notice. The envelope never bothers you during the dinner hour nor does it shout at you in the middle of a television program. The envelope is a silent messenger – a very personal way to tell someone you care or get them interested in your product or service. Many people purchase envelopes over the counter and have never stopped to think about everything that goes into the production of an envelope.

  • Triangle Accordion Books Part 2
    “Part Two: Assembling the book” Time from start to finish = 1 hour You will need the following materials: • Heavy paper, which will be cut into three 4 5/8” X 20” strips, the best option is to cut these strips from one large 22” X 30” sheet of watercolor paper (this will be used for the inner “accordion” of the book) • 2 pieces of chipboard or thick cardboard, 6x6 inches each • Painted paper or scrapbooking paper at least 6x6 inches in size • Pencil • Ruler • Glue (regular white glue or glue sticks) • Clean scrap paper, computer paper or newsprint is good • X-acto Knife or scissors • Cutting matt (or a piece of scrap cardboard to protect your work surface) Brief description: The next part of our process is to measure, cut and assemble your book. This part is made up of several smaller steps within each major step and requires precise measurement and patience. For Part Two, I suggest making a cup of your favorite tea and putting on some relaxing music in the background. While, this may be the most challenging step for some, if you follow the instructions closely and don’t rush, you should come out of it with a fully assembled book ready for creative alteration and decoration! For those new to bookmaking here are a few helpful hints: • Measure! Measure! Measure!: Nothing is more disappointing than assembling several pieces only to find at the final step that they don’t quite fit, especially when you’re out of materials to try again! During this process, we will be measuring out strips of paper, then folding, cutting and gluing them together at specific points.

This has made it possible for such and “expensive” process to further develop. Today, with increasing electricity prizes, it is of great interest to reduce electrical consumption in mechanical pulping industry, since the process consumes large amounts of electricity. Braviken paper mill is starting up a new thermomechanical pulping line, scheduled for start-up in August 2008, which aims to reduce electrical consumption. The new line will include chip pre-treatment equipment such as an impregnator, an Andrtiz Impressafiner (Screw press), a high intensity primary stage refines double disc (DD), and a new low consistency refiner (LC), significantly bigger than those earlier available on the market.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON 1927 T343 STUDY OF THE WINDOWS OF WINDOW ENVELOPES FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS By R. E. Lofton ABSTRACT This paper gives an idea of the extent of the use of window envelopes, and also the importance of this matter to postal employees, especially mail clerks, since windows of poor transparency and high gloss would cause serious eyestrain and loss of time in distributing the mails. For the purpose of getting data upon which specifications for transparency and gloss might be based, glassine papers, one-piece and two-piece windows, and a few semitransparent materials were tested. One-piece envelopes are those made from a single sheet of paper in which the window is made by impregnating that part of the envelope pattern through which the address is to be read with a suit- able oil or varnish. Two-piece envelopes are those made from two pieces of paper. The envelope pattern is cut from an opaque sheet of paper; the window is then cut out, and subsequently covered with glassine paper. For permanenc}7 of transparency, the glassine paper windows were better than the one-piece windows.

CHANGES IN PRINT PAPER DURING THE 19TH CENTURY AJ Valente, ([email protected]), President, Paper Antiquities When the first paper mill in America, the Rittenhouse Mill, was built, Western European nations and city-states had been making paper from linen rags for nearly five hundred years. In a poem written about the Rittenhouse Mill in 1696 by John Holme it is said, “Kind friend, when they old shift is rent, Let it to the paper mill be sent.” Today we look back and can’t remember a time when paper wasn’t made from wood-pulp. Seems that somewhere along the way everything changed, and in that respect the 19th Century holds a unique place in history. The basic kinds of paper made during the 1800s were rag, straw, manila, and wood pulp.
