Description Create perfectly fitted envelopes for any paper size using a mathematically derived model. This calculator is based on a 45° diagonal projection method, allowing you to generate a square envelope blank from any rectangular insert. See Appendix A for the mathematical derivation. A 45° rotation is used because it produces equal horizontal and vertical
