How to use it

  1. Download the Word file and type the sender and recipient address.
  2. Print one copy on plain paper and hold it behind your window envelope to check the address lines up.
  3. If it sits too high or too low, move the text in Word or change the spacing.
  4. Print onto plain paper, trim along the dashed lines and slip it into the envelope.
  5. Check the Royal Mail guidance on how to write an address before you post important letters.

About this template

The DL version prints a "from" and "to" panel at 210 x 99 mm, two to a sheet: cut one out, trim it to fit and slide it behind a window envelope, or use it as a guide for hand-addressing. The A6 version is a smaller card for a C6 envelope or a postcard. Both come as Word files you can type in and as PDFs. These templates lay out an address; they are not a fold-and-cut envelope net. Always check your envelope's window position first.

Questions

Will this fit my window envelope?

Windows are in different places on different envelopes. Always print a test copy and check, then move the text up or down in Word.

Can I print straight onto an envelope?

Some printers can. Check your printer manual first and test on a spare envelope, because thick or sealed envelopes can jam.

Why is the DL panel 210 x 99 mm?

It is sized to slip behind the window of a standard DL envelope, which is usually 220 x 110 mm, leaving a small margin all round.

Where should the postcode go?

The postcode is the last line of the address, on its own line. See Royal Mail's guidance for the full format.
