Manage templates

In the tab ‘Templates’, you can create new letter templates and edit existing templates.

Create template

Follow the steps below to create a new template:

  1. Click ‘Add’.
  2. Under ‘Properties’, enter the name and language of the letter.
  3. Under ‘Paper and style’, indicate the following things:
    • Font – Serif or Sans Serif
    • Font size
    • Paper size (e.g. A4)
    • Whether the pages should be numbered
  4. Under ‘Page margins’, indicate the margins that should be used. You can set margins for all sides of the page (top, bottom, left, right).
  5. If you want to display your logo in the letter, you can upload the file with the image under ‘Logo’. You can use the fields below to indicate the space that should be around the logo.
  6. Under ‘Window’, indicate the location on the page where the letterhead should be placed so that it is visible through the window of the envelope.
  7. Under ‘Sender’, indicate the location on the page where the sender information should be placed. For example, you could place this next to the letterhead on the right side of the page. You can also enter the sender information here.
  8. Under ‘Beneficiary’, indicate whether you want to generate a ‘KIX-code’. This is a kind of barcode that PostNL uses to quickly read out the address. Check the box if you want to generate this code.
  9. Under ‘Footer’, you can add text to the footer.
