Cards look good? Good! Now it’s time to print the liner paper with the Chevron Design onto 8 1/2 x 11 text weight paper. Since they are a standard, printer friendly size, just load your text paper into your regular tray, and print however many you
need – easy!
5. Cut Envelope Liners to 2 Sizes
To line your A2 and A7 envelopes, your liner paper needs to be cut to the dimensions listed below.
Dimensions are given for both partially and fully lined envelopes, depending on how much paper you wish to use.
Partially Lined Envelopes – Multiple Liners per 8 1/2 x 11 Sheet
- A2 Liner – 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 – 3 liners per sheet
- A7 Liner – 6 x 4 – 2 liners per sheet
Fully Lined Envelopes – 1 Liner per 8 1/2 x 11 Sheet
- A2 Liner – 4 1/2 x 5 3/4
- A7 Liner – 6 x 7
6. Adhere Liners to Envelopes
Finally, adhere envelope liners to envelopes using your adhesive of choice.
Tip – Go easy on the adhesive!: Just a trace of glue or a few pieces of tape surrounding the top perimeter of the liner is all you need! Too much adhesive will result in a lumpy, bumpy liner!
