A printable sheet including one or more envelope assemblies formed thereon, each having a central body panel, an end flap, a pair of opposing top and bottom panels, a business card removably attached and incorporated into the bottom panel, and a retaining flap. The sheet is capable of being placed in a printer to have images and/or indicia printed on the envelope assemblies. Each envelope assembly is capable can be removed from the printable sheet and folded along weakened lines, and adhered to itself to form a secure sleeve or envelope for holding various items. Each envelope has a retaining flap on the open end that can be tucked into the envelope after insertion of its contents in order to retain the contents, which could either be used or removed if desired. The envelope could be designed to readily hold business card compact discs. The business card can be subsequently separated by the user from the formed envelope.
