How to Make an Envelope Template in Google Docs

                

Disclaimer
: I followed the steps below and printed on a Brother HL-3140CW series color laser printer using the custom feed tray for the envelope. You may need to make adjustments for your printer. I found it best to just print on normal Letter size paper first while setting up and once it appeared to be correct then I used the custom paper feed for an envelope and printed.


CREATING TEMPLATE

Create a new Google Doc

Go to File - Page Setup

Set Orientation to Landscape

Leave Paper Size set to Letter (8.5" x 11")

Set Top Margin to 2.5

Set Bottom Margin to 0

Set Left Margin to 1.5

Set Right Margin to 0

Click Ok.

Add placeholders for both the Return Address and the Mailing Address.

Note: You probably want to indent the Return Address one tab so it doesn't print right on the edge of the envelope. 

Name your document.


USING TEMPLATE

Open your new document (envelope template).

Go to File - Make a Copy

Then name this new version for this specific envelope you want to print.

Make adjustments to the Return Address and Mailing Address as needed.

Then print and you're finished.
