How to Print Envelopes from a Mac

Printing envelopes via a Mac is a fairly easy process once you understand how the entire process is going to work. Any word processing program on the Mac platform is going to allow you to print envelopes. There are two main ways to print an envelope that can be done either through the Mac Address Book application or it can be done through the actual word processing software. Besides this simple tutorial, wonderhowto.com also has a great tutorial on how the printing process is done.

Step 1: The first thing that you’re going to want to do is head to the applications folder. This is going to be underneath your address book icon. Double click this icon and it should load up your address book. If you already have addresses added here, you can skip step 2.

Step 2: Add the addresses that you want to print on your envelopes. If they are already here, then you’re already a step ahead.

Step 3: Once these names are added, you’re going to want to click the “+” icon that are listed near the “names.” If you have more than one name that needs to be added to your print job, you can do this by holding down the “command” button.

Step 4: Once the names have all been selected that you want to print, you’re going to want to click the “file” button above, then click, “print.” Once the print box comes up, you’re going to head to the “layout” tab. Once on the layout tab, you’ll want to change the type to envelope. Be sure to note the dimensions if using a customized envelope.

Step 5: If you want to print your address as a return address, click the “label” tab and select the return address option. Also, if you want to customize the colors, you can select the font and color size in the menu as well. Once everything is selected, load up the envelopes on your printer, hit print and you’re set!
