This guide covers paper stock, Free Design Setup, matching envelopes, and FAQ. On a deadline? Use the calculator above, upload art or request design help, and approve your digital proof before print.
Your letterhead is often the first physical touchpoint after a handshake. We built this page for teams that need stationery that looks established without a four-week design agency timeline.
Gang-run production keeps per-sheet pricing sensible on 70lb opaque and heavier text stocks. Every order gets a digital proof. Our team checks logo resolution, margin placement, and contact line spacing before anything hits the press.
Free Design Setup covers layout from your logo, file conversion, and bleed when art goes edge to edge. Upload print-ready PDFs or send a logo and office details. You approve by email, then we print and ship on the schedule you pick.
Send your logo, tagline, address block, and any social icons you want in the header or footer. We balance white space so typed body copy still reads cleanly when you print letters in-house.
Need letterheads to match business cards or envelopes you already use? We pull colors and typography into one stationery system. Already have a Word template? We can rebuild it as print-ready art at no extra charge.
70lb opaque smooth white is the workhorse: high opacity so text on the second page does not show through, and compatible with most office laser printers. 100lb text adds extra body for formal proposals and executive correspondence.
Standard letter size is 8.5x11. Legal 8.5x14 is available for contracts and court filings. Choose matching #10 or window envelopes so outbound mail looks consistent from outer envelope to inner letter.
Keep critical logo and contact art inside safe margins so home and office printers do not clip the header. Add 0.125 inch bleed only if background color or art runs to the edge.
Export logos and photos at 300 DPI. We email a proof showing trim and safe zones. For full stationery sets with envelopes and business cards, start from our business cards or envelopes pages and request a matched bundle from our team.
Letterhead are simple and straight forward, mostly on 2 basic letter (8.5" x 11" and 8.5" x 14" sizes) and legal sizes, but still if you want to achieve perfect positioning of images logo, graphs, and text, we encourage you to download the correct size guideline template and work on top of it.

Price depends on quantity, paper weight, and turnaround tier. Use the calculator above for your exact letterhead total before you upload art. Larger runs share press setup costs across more sheets, so per-piece price drops noticeably at 500 pieces and again at 1,000. Rush tiers and legal-size sheets change the quote, so configure the form fully before comparing options.
70lb opaque smooth white is the workhorse for daily correspondence and most office laser printers. Choose 100lb text stock when you want a thicker, more formal feel for executive proposals, client welcome packets, and board presentations. If staff will print body copy in-house, tell us your printer model so we can confirm the weight feeds cleanly through your trays.
Yes. Full-color letterheads are printed at no premium above the base rate on this product path. We calibrate CMYK color profiles for every run so logo colors, accent lines, and header blocks stay consistent from your first order through every reorder. Send brand hex or Pantone notes in Free Design Setup when a logo color must match other stationery.
Yes. Order matching #10, window, or custom-size envelopes from our envelopes product page and keep the same logo file for both jobs. Request Free Design Setup on letterheads and envelopes at the same time so header colors, logo placement, and fonts align across your full stationery suite. That keeps client mail looking like one brand system, not two separate print jobs.
Free Design Setup is included on qualifying letterhead orders. Send your logo, address block, phone, website, and tagline and our team builds a clean print layout, then emails a digital proof for your approval before any job goes to press. Complex illustration or multi-page stationery systems can use paid design help when you need more than a standard header rebuild.
8.5x11 inches is the North American letter standard and the size most office printers and #10 envelopes accept. Legal size at 8.5x14 is also available for contracts, court filings, and healthcare documentation. Both sizes are configurable in the calculator so you can price letter and legal runs without guessing trim or tray fit.
Yes. We print on laser-safe opaque stocks that are compatible with most office laser and inkjet equipment. If you print body copy on both sides in-house, avoid dense ink coverage directly behind the typed address or body-copy area. Mention your printer brand in order comments when you need a stock recommendation for heavy duplex use.
Standard production runs a few business days after digital proof approval, then carrier transit adds shipping time to your door. Rush tiers are listed in the calculator so you can trade cost for speed when a conference, mailing date, or office deadline is fixed. Enter your zip at checkout to see production and transit as separate numbers.
Yes. We email a digital proof showing layout, margins, logo placement, and contact block spacing for every letterhead order. Nothing goes to press until you approve. Reply with notes and we revise the file before sending the job to production, which protects address typos and logo color mistakes before you pay for a full run.
A print-ready PDF with embedded fonts and CMYK color is the ideal format for letterhead artwork. We also accept AI, EPS, PSD, and high-resolution JPG or PNG. When you use Free Design Setup, our team converts Word or Office files to press-ready art and shows you the cleaned layout on the digital proof before print.
Extend background color or any edge art 0.125 inch past the trim line on all four sides so color reaches the cut edge cleanly on 8.5x11 or legal sheets. Keep your logo, address block, and all critical copy inside the safe zone shown on your proof. Free Design Setup can add bleed for you if your Word or Canva file stops at the page edge.
Minimums vary by paper weight and size on the letterhead calculator. Enter your target quantity to see live pricing for short test runs, small office orders, and larger bulk quantities. We handle small batches as well as full office supply runs, so you can trial a header design before committing to a thousand-sheet reorder.
Yes. We archive approved print-ready letterhead files so reorders can match exactly on the same stock and size. Reference your prior order number when placing a repeat job and we pull the file. There is no redesign fee for straightforward reprints on the same spec when nothing in the logo or address block has changed.
Cheap here means efficient press setup on shared runs, not thin or transparent stock. Every letterhead order still uses real opaque paper in the weight you selected, with sharp CMYK color and a human proof check before production starts. If you need bond-weight copy paper instead, use our color copies path rather than this stationery product.
Yes. We print letterheads and ship to all 50 states via standard carriers from our production network. Enter your zip code at checkout to see transit estimates for your office or warehouse. Rush shipping is separate from rush production; both are configurable at checkout when a filing deadline or client mailing cannot slip.
Production is the time from letterhead proof approval until your order ships from our facility. Shipping is carrier transit time after it leaves our dock. Both figures show separately at checkout so you can plan arrival date independently of print day, which matters when envelopes and letterheads must land together for a campaign.
Yes. Send photos or PDFs of your current business cards and we align logo size, font choices, and color values across letterheads and cards. Free Design Setup handles the matching at no extra charge on qualifying orders. That keeps your stationery suite looking intentional when clients receive a card and a follow-up letter in the same week.
No hidden setup fees on standard letterhead orders. Free Design Setup and digital proof approval are included on qualifying jobs. The calculator total is your final price unless you add rush production or special handling outside standard options. If a file needs major rebuild work beyond Free Design Setup, we quote that clearly before you approve.
Opaque stock is formulated to block show-through when you print on both sides or fold letters for mailing in #10 envelopes. Thin copy paper lets text and graphics bleed through to the front of the sheet. Opaque keeps typed letters clean and professional so clients never see ghosted logos behind your body copy.
Yes. Legal size 8.5x14 is available for law firms, healthcare offices, and government contracts where letter size is not standard. Select legal in the calculator when you configure your order. Free Design Setup applies to legal-size letterhead orders as well, including address blocks sized for longer page margins.
Vector PDF or AI file is ideal because logos scale cleanly without pixelation at any print size on letter or legal sheets. Raster logos should be 300 DPI at the exact size they will print on the letterhead. Our team can rebuild low-resolution logos during Free Design Setup when you only have a website PNG to start from.
Yes. We place QR codes and social icons in your letterhead header or footer and confirm scanability at the proof stage. Tell us the URL or social handle target and we generate the code, size it, and test it on your proof before print. Keep one primary QR so the sheet stays clean for typed correspondence.
Photos and placed raster logos should be 300 DPI at final print size on the letterhead. We flag any image that looks soft on your proof so you can swap to a higher-resolution source file before we send the job to press. Vector logos avoid this issue entirely and are preferred for brand marks in the header.
Upload your Word or Office file and request Free Design Setup on the letterhead order form. Our team converts it to a press-ready PDF with correct margins, embedded fonts, and CMYK color settings, then emails a proof for approval before anything prints. That path is safer than sending a .docx straight to press without a layout check.
Matte and uncoated stocks feel traditional and are easy to write or sign on by hand. Gloss adds punch to color logos and headers but can streak in some laser printers. Tell us how you print in-house and we recommend the stock that works best with your office equipment so signatures and inkjet body copy stay clean.
Yes. Letterhead is usually the anchor piece of a corporate stationery set alongside matching envelopes, business cards, and notecards. Ordering them together keeps paper stock, color, and logo placement consistent across every printed touchpoint a client sees. Use Free Design Setup once and apply the same brand system to each piece.
