INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: place the card on the enveloplus board, and score one end on the channel as stated in the  enveloplus manual’s chart( for the specific card and depth of envelope/envelope-box required).  Score the other sides using the stated channel/score-line in the manual for the envelope/envelope-box that is being made.

Remember that when making envelopes, the/each opposite ends are usually scored using thesame score-line that makes them thesame size.

STEP 2: fold the score lines. If you take a closer look at the picture, you will notice that the upper/north and lower/south flaps are thesame size; also they are larger while the sides/east and west are thesame sizes and they are smaller.
