Custom Letterhead Printing
MMPrint produces custom letterhead for businesses, professional practices, schools, nonprofits, associations and organizations throughout the United States.

Letterhead for Office Printers
Tell MMPrint if the finished letterhead will be used in a laser or inkjet printer. The selected paper and printed design should be appropriate for the intended office equipment and document workflow.
- Laser Printer Use – Paper and printing should be selected with the heat and feeding requirements of the intended equipment in mind.
- Inkjet Printer Use – The paper should support both the preprinted design and the ink applied by the office printer.
- Duplex Printing – Paper opacity becomes more important when correspondence will be printed on both sides.
- Equipment Testing – Test the selected letterhead in the intended printer before committing to a large recurring order.

Design Tips for Professional Letterhead
- Protect the writing area – Leave adequate open space for the body of the letter and the recipient’s address.
- Keep the header organized – Present the logo and company information without crowding the top of the page.
- Include essential contact details – Add the appropriate address, phone number, website and email information.
- Use readable type – Small footer text should remain clear at the final printed size.
- Include bleed when required – Extend backgrounds or graphics beyond the trim edge when they are intended to print to the edge.
- Use vector logos – Vector artwork generally produces the sharpest logos, lines and small text.
- Consider office-printer margins – Keep important design elements outside areas that the intended printer cannot reproduce.
- Avoid heavy coverage in writing areas – Large areas of dark ink can interfere with readability and office-printer use.
- Coordinate matching pieces – Use consistent logo placement, colors and typography across letterhead, envelopes and business cards.
- Proofread company information – Verify addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, URLs and legal business names before approval.
