WPS Office is a popular alternative to traditional word processors and is widely used for creating letters, business documents, and personal correspondence. While WPS Writer does not always offer a dedicated envelope wizard like some other programs, you can still print envelopes by using its page setup options or built-in envelope tools, depending on your version.
This guide explains how to print an envelope in WPS Office, including supported sizes, step-by-step setup, printer loading, alignment tips, and solutions to common printing problems.
Does WPS Office Support Envelope Printing?
WPS Writer supports envelope printing through two main methods:
A built-in envelope tool (available in some versions)
Custom page size setup for envelopes
Both methods allow you to enter addresses, choose envelope sizes, and adjust layout for accurate printing.
Supported Envelope Sizes
| Envelope Type | Size |
|---|---|
| #10 | 4.125 × 9.5 in |
| DL | 110 × 220 mm |
| C6 | 114 × 162 mm |
| C5 | 162 × 229 mm |
If your envelope size is not listed, you can create a custom size in Page Setup.
Recommended Envelopes
For best results, use:
Flat, unpadded envelopes
Inkjet-compatible envelopes for inkjet printers
Laser-compatible envelopes for laser printers
20–24 lb paper weight

Bubble or padded envelopes
Glossy or coated envelopes
Envelopes with thick adhesive areas
How to Load Envelopes in Your Printer
Correct loading helps prevent jams and misalignment.
Turn off the printer.
Open the manual feed or main paper tray.
Place one envelope in the tray.
Adjust the paper guides to fit snugly.
Keep the envelope flat and straight.
Turn the printer back on.
Always print one envelope at a time.
Envelope Orientation Guide
Orientation depends on how your printer feeds envelopes.
General tips:
Follow the tray diagram on your printer
Keep the flap out of the print path
Align the envelope straight
If the text prints upside down, rotate the envelope 180° and try again.
Method 1: Using the Built-In Envelope Tool (If Available)
Some versions of WPS Writer include an envelope feature.
Open WPS Writer.
Click the Insert tab.
Look for Envelope or Mailings options.

Click OK.
Type the Delivery Address in the center-right area.
