DocuSend’s Solution For Bottom Stub Invoices

If your invoice’s mailing and remittance addresses are at the bottom of your document, DocuSend has a solution for you. It’s called tumble turn.

This option is for invoices that have a bottom stub AND you are including a remittance envelope for your customers to mail their payment back to you.

What Is Tumble Turn?

Tumble turn means we will print your return, recipient and remittance addresses on the flip side of your bottom stub. We include a message “Please insert so this address shows in window of remittance envelope” above the remittance address.

This ensures that all addresses align correctly within the windows of the envelopes and that your recipient will mail the correct stub back to you. Your complete invoice is printed on one side, and mailing addresses are then also printed on the other side. This tumble turn option is an additional $0.03 per envelope for duplex printing.

Requirements to Use the Tumble Turn Option:

• You must select “Include Remittance Envelope” before you upload your file.
• Your document must have a bottom remittance stub with return, recipient and remittance addresses (all three) listed on the stub.
• You must select the appropriate address blocks on the bottom stub when prompted in DocuSend to identify correct address placements. DocuSend will automatically recognize that your document has to be tumble turned.
• Highly recommended – select perforated paper to ensure smooth stub tear off.

Undeliverable Feature

The undeliverable feature helps you to detect foreign mail over 4 sheets, oversize with more than 65 sheets in one envelope, or Coronavirus mail delivery restrictions. Once you upload your document and a undeliverable alert is shown- You can go to "Review Individual Documents" to see the affected pages.

A Smarter Approach to Printing Invoices and Transactional Mail

Choose one-sided (simplex) or two sided (duplex) printing for your multiple page documents. You can even choose mixplex printing, which lets you mix simplex printing with duplex printing.

After you upload your documents and any inserts you want included in the envelope, just choose whether you want your source document and your inserts printed one or two sided. And you can mix and match. Print your uploaded file one sided and your additional inserts two sided, or vice-versa.

The only exception is that you cannot select two-sided printing for documents that need a remittance envelope. You can, however, select two-sided printing for any generic inserts you want to add to your documents even if you require a remittance envelope. When you select two-sided printing for the inserts you want included with your principal documents, they will always begin printing on a separate sheet.

The only exception is you cannot select two-sided printing for documents that need a remittance envelope. You can however select two-sided printing for any generic inserts you want to add to your documents even if you require a remit envelope. When you select two-sided printing for the inserts you want included with your principal documents, they will always begin printing on a separate sheet.

The menu selection to choose between one-sided and two-sided printing will only appear when it is an available option after you upload your PDFs. And it’s easy to change selections on the screen.

The benefits of two sided printing include:

• Reduce oversize charge
  • We can accumulate and fold and insert up to 7 sheets into a standard #10 envelope. But if you select duplex, we can fit up to 14 pages, because it still ends up to be only 7 physical pages.

• Add more pages
  • We still accommodate up to 65 actual sheets of paper (or 64 with remit), but if you select duplex, you can mail up to 130 pages, because it still ends up as 65 physical sheets of paper.
  • In many cases, it eliminates having to separate your larger documents into separate envelopes.

• More pages in foreign mail
  • Foreign mail is limited to one ounce or 4 sheets of paper, but with duplex, you can now send the equivalent of 8 pages.
