I have gotten a lot of questions about the app I use to calculate odd-sized envelopes. I have an iPhone and use this app: apple.co/3Qoo5iO If you have an Android phone you could try searching in your app store for 'envelope punch board' and see if anything comes up.

Thank you for the very informative video. I only have the full size envelope punch board, and have struggled in the past to create a particular size envelope. I have found it helpful to use the envelope maker attached to my scoreboard. There is a bit more room for adjustment on that which has really come in handy so that is one more option (for those of us owning the scoreboard) too.

Very interesting! I have both envelope punch boards so I've never really thought about it! Certainly interesting to see the difference! Another thought for those who don't have the punch board- some scoring boards have a plate to put on the scoreboard to do envelopes.

I have both the 1-2-3 and the mini and love them both. (I was so excited when I saw the Jan23 Sheetload-I’ve used mini envelopes on other Sheetloads in the past). I use them both as corner rounders as well so they’re multi-taskers.

The board says the mini makes up to a 4" x 4" envelope. Because of the smaller size, it limits the length of score line you can make. TFW :)

I don’t think I realized what the difference was between the mini and the regular but once you showed it it made sense. I don’t like to buy a lot of unitasker tools but the envelope punches do seem worth having, especially since you can make so many custom sizes. I use my regular one more often than I expected.
