Every standard size — commercial, window, remittance, wallet, A-style, baronial, square, booklet, catalog, policy, coin and ISO metric. Pick a type to start; the size, flap, window, artwork and the security pattern inside can all be changed on the right. Artwork can be a PDF or an image.

…or open a showcase sample

Finished envelopes with their own artwork and security tint — a wedding baronial, a wedding invitation with spot UV and foil, a bank statement, a holiday square, a real-estate catalog and more. Every one opens fully editable.

Keep the artwork in the template

A template keeps every setting on this side — size, flaps, window, paper, text, the security pattern, output and the press sheet — and the artwork when it is under 2.5 MB.

Recipient

Print the recipient on the envelope (variable data)

Preview only — never printed. Tick the box above to print it. Use «Column» merge fields (below) to print a different address on every envelope.

Variable data (VDP)

No data file

Open a .csv or Excel file whose first row names the columns. Type «Column» in the recipient or any text box and it is filled from each record. With the data loaded, Print PDF writes one envelope per record, and the press sheet fills each blank with the next record.

Text boxes

Extra text on the front. On Flat — outside, click a box to select it: drag it to move, the corner squares to scale the type, the side squares to change its width, and the yellow dot to turn it. Arrow keys nudge (Shift = 5 mm) and Delete removes it. Each box can print only for the records you choose.

Back — flaps

No seal-flap artwork

Back text (on the seal flap)

Whole outside

No full-blank artwork

A full-blank file covers the whole flat blank plus bleed, laid out exactly like the outside view — for printing on flat stock before converting.

Spot UV & foil

Two plates for the front. Choose a mask file for each — dark areas are coated, white and transparent areas are not — and/or set a text box (or the recipient) to Prints as Spot UV or Foil.

Spot UV mask

No Spot UV mask

Coat the light areas instead

Foil mask

No foil mask

Coat the light areas instead

Placement and output

The masks are the size of Show Spot UV (purple) and foil (gold) in the preview Also put them in the print PDF as overprinting spot colours (Spot_UV, Foil)

Spot UV: nothing yet · Foil: nothing yet

Inside — security pattern

Pattern

Tint 60% Scale 1.0× Angle 0°

No inside artwork

The pattern prints on the inside of the whole blank, so the letter cannot be read through the paper. Inside artwork is laid out as the reverse side prints and goes on top of the pattern.

Output

Bleed

Crop marks and slug line Also put the dieline in the print PDF (its own spot colours)

Press sheet — multiple up

Cutter

Sheet Gap between blanks

Registration / OMR marks for the cutter

Reference edge — the side that runs on the conveyance belt

Reference (belt) edge (mm)

Keep each die within the DSM-1000 B2’s 5,000 mm of rule — fewer pieces per punch when it would need more

The blanks are nested like Digital Die Cut does it — rows, turned rows or true shape, whichever fits the most. The front carries the outside artwork and the cutter's marks; the back carries the inside print (the security pattern) lined up behind every blank.
