Letterheads
Compliment Slips
A4 Continuation Sheets
Letterheads and compliment slips for business post
A printed letterhead carries your logo, address, phone number and company registration details, so every letter, quote and invoice looks the same. A compliment slip goes in with a parcel, a brochure or a returned document when a full letter is too much. Solicitors, accountants, builders, schools and charities use both every day.
Letterheads are printed on smooth white paper in 90gsm, 120gsm or 170gsm, on the front only or on both sides. Compliment Slips use the same three papers, so the set matches. A4 Continuation Sheets are for the second and later pages of a letter; you can order them printed on the front, or blank on the same paper so every page feels the same.
All three products come in quantities of 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000. Ordering them together means one checkout and one delivery.
Choosing a paper weight
| Paper | Feel | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 90gsm smooth white | Standard office weight | Letters that also go through a printer or copier |
| 120gsm smooth white | Firmer, more substantial | Quotes and letters posted to clients |
| 170gsm smooth white | Heavy and stiff | Certificates, formal letters, slips that stand up in a pack |
Smooth white paper is uncoated, so it takes pen and ink for signatures. If you plan to run letterheads through an office printer, check your printer's paper weight limit first. Printing on both sides lets you put terms or a list of branches on the back.
