Personalization at scale starts with a great template.


With LettrLabs, you can easily design and launch handwritten cards, postcards, and flyers—each customized to your brand and audience.

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to creating your first template:

✅ Step 1: Navigate to the Templates Page

From your LettrLabs homepage:

  • Click the “Orders” tab on the left

  • Select “Templates”

  • Choose an existing template or click “New Template” to start from scratch

  • Give your template a clear, searchable name (e.g., VIP Welcome, Abandoned Cart Winback)

✉️ Step 2: Choose a Product

You’ll be taken to the Products page, where you can choose from several format options:

  • Flat cards (our most popular option)

  • Folded cards

  • Postcards (including handwritten options)

  • Flyer + Handwritten Envelope combo

For this walkthrough, we’ll use the Handwritten Flat Card + Envelope.

📝 Step 3: Compose Your Handwritten Message

In the editor:

  • Type your message directly into the template

  • What you type is exactly what will be handwritten by our robotics

  • Preview the handwriting live as you type

Want to change the look?

  • Choose from 60+ handwriting fonts

  • Adjust font size for the perfect balance

  • Add emphasis with bold, italics, or spacing

🔗 Step 4: Add Dynamic Mail Merge Fields

Personalization is easy with mail merge:

  • Use placeholders like [[first name]] to insert customer-specific info

  • You can also map custom fields like [[last order]], [[referral source]], etc. for deeper personalization

📲 Step 5: Add a QR Code (Optional)

Want to drive traffic to a specific link?

  • Paste any URL (e.g., website, discount page, or custom landing page)

  • LettrLabs will automatically generate a QR code and place it on your card

🖼️ Step 6: Upload Logos or Artwork

  • Upload your brand logo, product image, or any custom graphic

  • Add printed text alongside the handwritten message (e.g., promo codes, disclaimers, hashtags)

  • For the back of the card, upload a pre-designed image or use our Canva integration

✉️ Step 7: Customize Your Envelope

  • Add your return address, sender name, and zip code

  • The system will flag any errors to ensure accuracy before saving

💾 Step 8: Save and Approve

  • Click “Save Draft”

  • Review your template

  • Once approved, it will appear on your home screen—ready to use in campaigns or automations

🎉 That’s It!

You’ve just created a personalized, handwritten mail template—ready to scale meaningful connections with your audience.
