Company Letterhead
A company letterhead or “letterhead” is usually branded piece of A4 sized paper that is pre-printed with the branding, contact information and logo of a company. The pre-printing of this is done by a print company, such as ourselves, who then supply to the companies offices.
When any official company correspondence is sent out, such as notifications and client or supplier communication the staff can print their document on to this letter headed paper, which is run through the office printer. It is important that the word processing software that the office uses has been configured to margin the header and footer of the letterhead spaces, otherwise overprinting could occur.
Company Letterhead Design
Designing a letterheaded piece of A4 paper is fairly straight forward. Traditionally the logo of the company will be placed in the top left corner and the contact details, such as phone number and email/postal address in the top right. This is usually in a colour band or graphic and takes up the top of the page. The band/logo height can be anything but is usually in the region of 5- 10 cms. Having a prominent logo and contact details is a good idea but it is also important not to drown out the important information further down the page.
A letterheaded piece of paper often has a footer as well. This usually contains anything from a company slogan, further contact details and even terms and conditions. Other graphics, such as trade certification badges, affiliate companies or awards can also be included here.
Company Letterhead Benefits
Having a branded letterhead will really get the message across that your company is a professional organisation that likes to communicate with style. Your letter-headed piece of paper can really help sell the company, with references to awards, certification and other industry related trademarks. The receiver of this type of correspondence will be of the opinion that time and effort has gone in to contacting them, especially if the message is individual to them.
“Strong communication comes from a good letterhead”
Producing a well branded and designed letterhead gives additional kudos to your company.
