Question

What's the difference between letterhead and a letter template?

Answer

Letterhead and a letter template do different jobs and actually work together. One is the branded paper, and the other is the layout of the words you place on it.

  • Letterhead is the pre-printed or digital paper carrying your logo, company name, and contact information.
  • Letter template is the document layout, covering where the date sits, the salutation style, paragraph spacing, and the closing.
