Custom Letterhead

Custom Letterhead Printing

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

Printed letterhead creates a consistent format for official correspondence, proposals, invoices, notices, reports and other business communications. It also connects a company’s written communications with its broader visual identity.

Standard letterhead is printed at 8.5 x 11 inches in full color. Choose from several professional uncoated and textured papers according to the desired appearance, writing characteristics and office use.

Letterhead Size & Format

  • 8.5 x 11 Letterhead – The standard U.S. letter size for business correspondence, invoices, proposals and official documents.
  • One-Sided Printing – The standard configuration keeps the reverse side blank for general correspondence.
  • Two-Sided Printing – Qualifying projects can include supporting information or branding on the reverse side.
  • Full-Color Printing – Reproduce logos, graphics and company branding using process color.
  • Variable Data – Qualifying projects can include changing names, departments, locations or other information.

Letterhead Paper Options

  • Offset Paper – A smooth, uncoated paper with a natural feel that works well for general business correspondence.
  • Linen Paper – A textured stock with a subtle woven pattern that provides a distinctive appearance.
  • Classic Crest – A lightly textured paper with a refined, professional finish.

  • Custom Paper Selection – Other papers can be reviewed when a project requires matching stationery or a specific corporate appearance.

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.

Matching Business Stationery

  • Custom Envelopes – Coordinate the logo, colors and return address with the letterhead design.
  • Business Cards – Maintain consistent branding across personal contact materials and written correspondence.
  • Notepads – Extend the same visual identity to internal notes, customer giveaways and office materials.
  • Presentation Folders – Combine branded letterhead and supporting documents into an organized presentation package.

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.
