Add a Text Box

You can add to your envelope, label, or flyer mailpiece a Text Box, which allows multiple lines of text (up to 1000 characters), in any font, but without any rotation.

You can specify font characteristics (justification, typeface, style, size, effects, or color) for all text or specific lines of text that appear in a Text Box. The font selection can be different for each of the first ten lines. Any lines over the tenth line use the same font characteristics as the tenth line.

Note: An alternate to the Text Box is the Rubber Stamp, which allows a single line of text that you can format, rotate, or link to fields. For more information, see About Rubber Stamps.
