Put Your Company on Paper That Looks the Part

The header carries your logo, name, address, and contact details, and the rest of the page stays open for the letter, invoice, quote, or memo you type into it. That is a letterhead, your company signature on paper, and standard ones start at $99.95 for 50, rated 5.0 out of 5 across 63 reviews. Our guide to business letter format on letterhead, measured line by line shows where the date, the address block and the signature sit under the header. A contract, an invoice or a reply to a formal request on printed letterhead shows the reader your business name and address before the first line.

A ream of letterhead lasts an office for months and costs little to keep on hand. You set the paper, choose your ink coverage and add any finishing the job needs, and we print it on our own press in our Queens facility; 4OVER4 has printed for 150,000+ businesses since 1999. To compare letterheads with the rest of the stationery lineup, browse the full range on letterheads printing, or build yours from the choices below.

Fifty sheets for $99.95 cover a new business's first letters and invoices. An office that prints every quote on letterhead climbs the same 40 tiers toward 100,000 and pays far less per sheet. Each tier below shows the live order total and what the step up saves.

What is a letterhead

A letterhead is a sheet of company stationery printed at the top, and sometimes along the sides, with your logo, business name, address, and contact details, leaving the body blank for correspondence. At 4OVER4 standard letterheads print at 8.5 by 11 inch on 5 papers, in black or full color on one or both sides, with the paper, ink, and finishing all set in the live configurator.

A printed letterhead makes a routine invoice read as official and keeps your logo, colors and address the same from a quote to a cover letter. If your correspondence has a specialty audience, the Law Firm Letterhead and Church Letterhead carry the same build tuned for those settings, and the standard letterhead is the everyday sheet for any office.

What paper stocks and ink colors can you choose

4OVER4 offers 5 papers for standard letterheads: 70# uncoated text, 24# Royal Laid in Bright White, Natural White, and Gray, and 28# Royal Linen Bright White. Ink prints in four setups: black on the front with a blank back, black on both sides, full color on the front, and a fourth setup that carries color onto the back.

Match the paper to the letters you send most. The 70# uncoated text takes a pen and feeds through an office printer, which suits invoices and daily mail. The three 24# Royal Laid stocks add a subtle laid texture you can feel, in Bright White, a warmer Natural White, and a soft Gray. The 28# Royal Linen Bright White brings a crisp linen weave for the most formal letters. On ink, you run black on the front only, black on both sides, full color on the front, or full color that also covers the back, so a one-color memo and a fully branded letter both come off the same press. The specs panel below lists all 5 papers, both back options and every ink setup.

Paper and layout decide how a letterhead reads.

Pick a paper that feels like more

The uncoated 70# text keeps the cost down for a high volume of mail, while a 24# Royal Laid or the 28# Royal Linen gives the sheet a laid or woven texture the reader feels when unfolding the letter. Many offices keep both: linen for proposals, uncoated for invoices.

Design it without a designer

Start from a professionally built layout in our letterhead design templates, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. Keep the header within the top two inches, so a typed letter or an invoice table has the rest of the page and your word processor margins need no change.

If your logo and header are already designed, download a blank letterhead template instead. It is built at the real 8.5 by 11 inch trim with the bleed and safe margin drawn in, so a color band at the top or a footer rule prints to the edge without being trimmed off. Drop your art in and upload.

How much do custom letterheads cost

Standard letterheads start at $99.95 for 50, and the per-sheet price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap letterhead comes down to the size of the run. As reference points, 800 sheets run $163.67 and 7,000 run $500.87, and a full 100,000 run lands at $4,625.27, which works out to under 5 cents a sheet.

What finishing options come with letterheads

4OVER4 letterheads can be folded with a half fold or trifold, perforated for a tear-off section, and three-hole punched with a 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch hole for binders. You can also bundle the order into stacks and add matching blank second sheets at half or a full one-to-one ratio, all as options in the configurator.

A half fold or trifold gets a letter ready to slip straight into an envelope. Perforation adds a clean tear-off line for a reply slip or a payment stub. A three-hole punch drops the pages straight into a binder. Bundling wraps the order into tidy stacks for a front desk, and adding blank second sheets in a matching paper keeps a multi-page letter consistent from the first page to the last. You turn on only what the job needs.

How do proofing and turnaround work

4OVER4 offers three proofing paths for letterheads: straight to production, a free online proof, or a next-day hardcopy proof. Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, next-day, and same-day rush available. Order by the same-day cutoff and the job ships that afternoon from the New York City plant.

You decide how much checking you want before the press runs. Go straight to production when your file is final, take a free online proof to confirm the layout on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real paper first. When a deadline moves up, each faster speed buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time and 82% ship early, so you are not gambling on the date.

What do businesses use custom letterheads for

Firms send contracts and engagement letters on letterhead, accountants put invoices and quotes on it, and offices run cover letters, memos, and notices on it every day. Law firms, churches, hotels, and clinics each lean on a letterhead to make routine paper feel official. Pair a formal paper with full-color ink and a three-hole punch, and a single sheet handles everything from a one-page notice to a filed multi-page agreement.

Letterheads: Frequently Asked Questions

What size are standard letterheads?

They print at the standard 8.5" x 11" US letter size, so they fit any letter envelope, folder, or binder you already use. That also means the file setup matches the templates most designers work from. Folding options can turn the same sheet into a mailer.

Which papers can I choose for a letterhead?

Five papers are offered: a 70# uncoated text, 24# Royal Laid in Bright White, Natural White, and Gray, plus a 28# Royal Linen in Bright White. Laid and linen carry a visible texture that reads formal in the hand, while the uncoated text is the plainer everyday option. Color choice matters too, since Natural White and Gray shift the tone of your logo.

Will these sheets work in my office printer?

They are text-weight papers meant to be typed or printed over, which is why letterhead is ordered blank below the header. How any stock behaves depends on your specific machine, so run a test sheet before you commit to printing a large batch. The textured laid and linen options feel different through a feeder than the flat uncoated text.

Can I get letterheads folded, perforated, or hole punched?

Yes. Finishing includes a half fold or trifold, perforation, and a three-hole punch at either 1/4" or 5/16", plus bundling and matching blank sheets. Perforation suits a letter with a tear-off remittance slip, and the punch is for sheets that live in a binder. Matching blank sheets are useful for multi-page letters that carry the header only on page one.

What ink options are there?

Four ink setups are available, from black on one side up to full color on both sides. Black on one side keeps a simple logo run inexpensive, while full color suits a mark with photography or gradients. Printing the back is worth it if you carry terms, a service list, or a second-language version.

How fast can letterheads be printed?

Standard production is 5 business days, with 4 day, 3 day, 2 day, next day, and same day rush available. The smallest run is 50 sheets starting at $99.95, and the per-sheet cost keeps dropping as the order climbs toward 100,000. Buyers rate them 5.0 out of 5 across 63 reviews.
