Print Envelopes from Google Docs

How to Print and Mail Documents from Google Docs

Most people use Google Docs to write letters, invoices, legal notices, and business documents. But once the document is ready, the traditional workflow involves printing, folding, finding an envelope, buying stamps, and making a trip to the post office. Mailform eliminates all of that.

With Mailform's free Google Docs add-on, you can send any document as physical mail — via USPS or FedEx — directly from Google Docs. No printer needed. No envelope. No post office visit required.

Mail Types Supported from Google Docs

Once you install the Mailform add-on, you can choose from the following mail types when sending from Google Docs:

• USPS First Class Mail — the most affordable option for standard letters and documents
• USPS Certified Mail — legally trackable mail with proof of delivery, ideal for legal notices, demand letters, and important correspondence
• USPS Priority Mail — faster delivery for time-sensitive documents ($17.99 per envelope)
• FedEx Standard Overnight — next-day delivery for urgent shipments (from $51.99 per envelope)
