Abstract

A shipping label to be affixed to a package to be delivered payment on delivery ('C.O.D.') by a courier service or the like includes a plurality of stacked panels. The rear face of the shipping label's back panel is covered with an adhesive to secure the label to the package to be delivered. The front face of the shipping label's top panel provides package delivery information, other client information and the cost of the package being delivered. Between the top and bottom panels is an intermediate panel with delivery information on it relevant to the recipient of the package. A return envelope constituted by a pair of panels joined together along three of their sides is located between the intermediate panel and the back panel. One side of the envelope is open to receive a cheque or other suitable monetary payment in the amount shown on the front face of the top panel. One of the panels of the envelope has a flap which can be folded to seal the open end of the envelope. Adhesive on the flap adheres to the other panel of the envelope and maintains the envelope in a closed condition once payment for the package has been received and placed in the envelope. The envelope is removable from the shipping label and is treated by the courier as a new package to be delivered.
