How to Fix Padding & Margin Collapsing in Outlook 2016
for Klaviyo Campaigns
A programmatic integration guide for resolving email rendering crashes inside Outlook 2016 using Klaviyo's layout editor environment.
Root Bug Analysis
Microsoft Word (used by Outlook 2016) has buggy support for div paddings and block-level margins. Spacing blocks inside divs are completely ignored, and margins often collapse or render at double height.
Klaviyo Specific Guide
Klaviyo wraps elements in padded tables. In Outlook, this cause spacing heights to double or collapse unpredictably. To ensure spacing works reliably, apply all structural paddings directly to HTML td elements inside tables.
Open your Klaviyo template editor. Drag an 'HTML' block directly into your layout timeline (do not use a standard text box). Clear the default skeleton content inside the Klaviyo markup editor and paste the RenderOps corrected inline code.
ESP Unsubscribe Alignment
When compiling custom HTML templates for Klaviyo, you must ensure your layout retains deliverability compliance loops. Klaviyo requires you to insert their specific unsubscribe merge tag, otherwise your campaign delivery will be flagged by automated spam audits.
