Description

1) Letterhead Printing

A letterhead printing is the heading at the top of a sheet of letter paper (stationery). It consists of a name, address, logo or trademark, and sometimes a background pattern.
Many companies and individuals prefer to create a letterhead template in a word processor or other software application. That generally includes the same information as pre-printed stationery but at lower cost. Letterhead can then be printed on stationery or plain paper, as needed, on a local output device or sent electronically.

 

2) What do I include on my letterhead design?

The common design elements on letterheads include:

• Logo or Word Mark
• Address
• Contact Details (Telephone Number, Website, Email Address and Fax)

Depending on the type of business you are in, there might be a legal requirement for additional information to be included on your letterhead design.

For example, if you are a Limited company you are legally required to include the:

• Company Number
• Registered Company Address
• The Place of Registration (England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland)

 

3) What are the standard sizes of letterheads?

In the UK, the most common size of letterhead is A4 (210mm x 297mm). At kaizenprint.co.uk this A4 letterheads account for 95% of all letterhead printing orders. The second most common size is an A5 letterhead (148mm x 210mm). In North America, US Letter size is typically 8.5 x 11 inches (215 x 280 mm). While not too dissimilar in size, the extra width of the document does make the US Letter unusable in DL envelopes which are standard here in the UK.

Moreover, Letterheads can be printed single sided or double sided and are almost always printed on an uncoated paper type. Using an uncoated paper, ensures that the letterhead can be over-printed when in use at your office for example. We recommend that all letterheads are printed on a laser guaranteed paper. This means that whatever model and make your office or home printer happens to be, that the letterhead any online printing company provides to you will not come off as the printer heats up. Most commercial printers and certainly all good printers will ensure their letterheads are printed on such a paper.
