A paper assembly is formed having an envelope and a carrier portion, such that the overall assembly is a generally flat paper assembly having a length and width of a standard paper size such as 8&frac12; in.&times;11 in. or A-4 size. The assembly, having a footprint equal to a standard paper size, may be fed into a standard size paper tray of a printer such as a laser printer or an ink jet printer, with the printer printing on the front face of the envelop. After printing the envelope may be stuffed with material to be mailed, and the envelope separated from the carrier portion and sealed for mailing. In a first embodiment the carrier is an L-shaped piece of paper that is formed separately from the envelope and releasably adhered to the backside thereof, the L-cut having an acute angle and a rounded corner. In another embodiment the L-shaped carrier is releasably adhered to the front side of the envelope. In another embodiment the entire assembly including the carrier portion and the envelope is formed from a single oversized die cut sheet of paper, folded and glued to create an envelope releasably connected by cuts and ties to the remainder of the assembly to form an assembly having a footprint equal to a standard size sheet of paper, and then loaded into a standard size printer tray for printing on the envelope. After being printed upon the envelope is separated from the carrier portion and sealed for mailing.
