The Simple Guide to Professional Letterhead Printing (And Why Your Business Needs It)
Let’s be honest – when was the last time you thought about your company’s letterhead? If you’re like most business owners, probably not often. But here’s the thing: that piece of paper at the top of your letters and invoices is working harder than you think.
At East London Printer, we’ve printed letterheads for hundreds of businesses – from startups to law firms to local shops. And we’ve seen how the right letterhead can make all the difference.
What Exactly is a Letterhead?
A letterhead is simply the printed heading at the top of your business stationery. It usually includes:
Your company name
Logo
Contact details (address, phone, email, website)
Sometimes a tagline or short message
Think of it like your business’s handshake – it’s often the first physical impression you make.
Why Bother With a Professional Letterhead?
It Makes You Look Legit
A proper letterhead instantly makes your business look established and trustworthy.
People Remember You Better
Consistent branding helps customers recognize your documents immediately.
It’s Not Just for Fancy Letters
You’ll use it for:
Invoices (get paid faster when you look professional)
Contracts (makes them look more official)
Job offers (better impression for new hires)
Even simple memos
It’s Cheaper Than You Think
A good supply of letterheads lasts ages and costs less than most marketing materials.
