What is MacEnvelope?

MacEnvelope is precisely what its name implies — an envelope-printing application. It's one of the best, if not the best, of its kind. It handles all shapes of envelopes and all sizes of labels. It can automatically add the bar coding that the post office and large-scale mailers put on many envelopes. If you are using an ImageWriter II with a color ribbon, you can print addresses in color. You can place graphics next to the return address, and you can put user-specific messages in the lower-left corner.

You can enter addresses directly and create lists with the simple list manager in the program. Address data can also be imported from most Mac databases. You don't get full mail-merge capability, but you can create many different envelopes or labels in one run. Although MacEnvelope is fine for personal use (it's now doing most of my envelopes), it really comes into its own when used by small businesses and organizations such as schools and church groups. For them, this well-behaved and little (113K) program is a real bargain.
