Envelope Endorsements

Getting Started

An endorsement is a short, attention-grabbing message visible without opening the envelope. It typically appears as part of the return address or on a coversheet, showing through the envelope window.

LetterStream supports endorsements of up to 50 characters for certain mailings.

If you need more flexibility with the wording, placement, or design of custom messaging on a regular #10 envelope, see Add Custom Text to an Envelope for information about custom envelope overlays.

Endorsements for Regular Sized Envelopes

For mailings using standard #10 envelopes, add an endorsement using the "Extra Line" field on the Return Address page.

Example:

John Smith  
1234 W. Main Street  
Scottsdale AZ 85255  
IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED

This fourth line will appear beneath your return address and show through the envelope window.

Endorsements for Flat Sized Envelopes

For larger, flat-sized envelopes, there are two ways to add an endorsement:

  1. Extra Line Method – Use the same approach as with #10 envelopes (as shown above).
  2. Coversheet Method –
    • Navigate to the Job Inserts Review page.
    • Click the pencil icon on the envelope thumbnail.
    • Add your endorsement in the available field.

The endorsement will appear on the coversheet and show through the window of the flat envelope between the return and the recipient addresses.
