The styles
Which letterhead style fits your brand?
4OVER4 letterheads come in several configurations. Classic letterheads print on premium uncoated stock for everyday correspondence. Foil letterheads add a metallic header accent for a premium impression. Two-sided letterheads put branding on the front and terms on the back, and folded or perforated options get the sheet ready for envelopes, binders, and tear-off replies. For something fully custom, the Online Designer lets you build from scratch or upload your own files.
Classic Letterheads
The everyday workhorse on premium uncoated stock. Print black or full color, add folding and perforation, and it still runs through your office printer.
Foil Letterheads
A metallic foil accent in the header turns a plain sheet into a premium brand impression that clients notice before they read a word.
Two-Sided Letterheads
Branding on the front, terms or a subtle watermark on the back. Two-sided printing puts both faces of the sheet to work.
Folded and Perforated
Add a half fold, trifold, perforation, or a three-hole punch so your letterhead is ready for envelopes, binders, and tear-off replies.
Match it
Match the letterhead to the job
The right letterhead depends on who reads it. Start with the kind of correspondence you send, and the stock, ink, and finishing choices fall into place. A law firm wants weight and restraint, a nonprofit wants warmth, and a fundraising letter needs a mail-ready format.

Retainer agreements, legal notices, and financial summaries carry more weight on branded letterhead. In fields where trust is everything, it signals legitimacy.

Offer letters, property descriptions, and closing documents on custom letterhead tell buyers and sellers they are working with a serious professional.
Nonprofits and fundraising
Donor thank-you letters, grant applications, and sponsorship requests look established and accountable on quality stock, and donors respond in kind.

Wally makes every letter count
From plain paper to branded stationery
A letterhead is the quiet workhorse of your brand. Put your logo up top, keep two fonts and clean white space, pick a premium stock, and let the free proof confirm it before it prints. Every letter you send does a little marketing for you.

Design tips for letterheads that get noticed
A great letterhead is subtle but unmistakable. Here is how to make yours count, from logo placement and fonts to color and file setup.
Keep logo placement consistent
Top-left or top-center works for most businesses. Leave breathing room around your logo so it reads cleanly against the paper.
Stick to two fonts at most
One for your company name, one for the details. Mixing three or four fonts makes a letterhead look cluttered, and simple reads as confident.
Use color with intent
Let brand color live in the header and a subtle footer accent. Flooding the page hurts readability, and the body of your letter needs clean white space.
Include the essentials
Phone, email, website, and address belong in a clean footer or sidebar. Do not make readers hunt for how to reach you.
Design at full resolution
Set files up in CMYK at 300 DPI with a 0.125 inch bleed and keep text a quarter inch from the trim. The <a href="/benefit/online-designer">Online Designer</a> flags problems before you order.

Myth vs fact
What to know before you order a letterhead
Four myths about letterheads, set straight, so you order the right stationery the first time and know exactly what the paper can do for you.
Letterhead is outdated in a digital world.
Physical letters still carry weight for legal, financial, and nonprofit correspondence, where a printed page signals that the sender took the message seriously.
Any paper works for a letterhead.
A 70lb uncoated stock is the sweet spot. It feels professional, folds neatly into envelopes, and still feeds through laser and inkjet printers.
You cannot run pre-printed letterhead through the office printer.
Uncoated letterhead stocks are made for it. Print your branding once, then add names, dates, and addresses in house whenever you need them.
Color letterhead looks unprofessional.
Strategic brand color in the header and a footer accent is standard practice. The trouble only starts when color floods the page and crowds the text.

Upside & trade-offs
What a letterhead does well, and what to weigh
The honest pros and cons, so you know exactly where a custom letterhead shines and where the design has to earn the stock before you commit to a run.
Where letterheads win
- Premium stocks that feel solid the moment someone picks up the page
- Turns every invoice, memo, and letter into a branded touchpoint
- Uncoated options run through office laser and inkjet printers
- Free online proof on every order before anything goes to press
- 60+ paper stocks plus folding, perforation, and three-hole punch options
What to weigh first
- A weak design undercuts even the best paper, so the layout has to earn the stock
- Uncoated stocks render photos softer than a glossy sheet would
- Two-sided and specialty foil options add to the per-piece cost
- Large runs need a print-ready file set up correctly to avoid reprints
The letterhead handbook
Start with the letter, then pick the stock
Three decisions shape every letterhead: the style that fits the correspondence, the stock and finishing it prints on, and the design that carries your brand. Here is the whole picture, with the choices that go into stationery that looks the part.
Where they shine
Where custom letterheads make the biggest impact
A letterhead is not just for formal letters. It shows up on retainer agreements, invoices, donor thank-you notes, proposals, and welcome packets, and each one is a chance to reinforce who you are. Law firms and financial advisors lean on branded stationery because it signals legitimacy in fields where trust is everything.
Real estate agents put offer letters and closing documents on custom letterhead to look like the serious professionals they are. Nonprofits send grant applications and sponsorship requests on quality stock because donors give more confidently when the presentation matches the mission. Creative agencies and startups hand over contracts that feel as premium as the work inside them.
Paper and finishing
Paper stocks, ink, and finishing options
Letterheads print on premium stocks that feel solid the moment someone picks them up. The 70lb uncoated text is the everyday favorite because it feels professional, folds neatly into envelopes, and still runs through office laser and inkjet printers. Royal laid, royal linen, and natural white options add texture when you want the paper itself to make an impression.
You can print black ink on the front, both sides, or full four-color, and add folding, perforation, or a three-hole punch when the job calls for it. Every order includes a free online proof so you can check your design before it goes to press, and foil letterheads add a metallic accent when a plain header is not enough.
The matching kit
Build a print kit around your letterhead
A letterhead rarely travels alone. The same brand look carries across your whole print kit, so it pairs naturally with a matching booklet for catalogs and lookbooks, a printed banner for events, and a banner stand for your booth or lobby. Start every piece from the same logo, colors, and type, and the whole set reads as one brand.
Not sure which stock to choose? Read up on the best paper for printing, browse the full range of business stationery, or open a letterhead template with the bleed and safe zones already built in. When a campaign changes, you can reprint the same design or swap it for a new one without redoing the whole kit.

What paper stock works best for letterheads?
For most business correspondence, an uncoated stock around 70lb is ideal. It feels professional, feeds through standard printers, and folds neatly into envelopes. 4OVER4 letterheads come in 60+ paper options, from royal laid to linen, so you can match your brand.
Can I print on both sides of my letterhead?
Yes. Many businesses print branding on the front and add terms, disclaimers, or a subtle watermark on the back. Two-sided printing is available when you configure your letterhead order.
How should I set up my letterhead file for printing?
Use CMYK color at 300 DPI, include a 0.125 inch bleed on all sides, and keep important text at least a quarter inch from the trim edge. 4OVER4 provides free letterhead templates with these specs already built in.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Standard turnaround is a few business days after proof approval, and rush options are available when you need letterheads faster. 4OVER4 holds a 99.8% on-time delivery rate, so your order arrives when expected.
Do letterheads work with laser and inkjet printers?
Yes. Uncoated letterhead stocks are compatible with both laser and inkjet desktop printers, so you can add variable content like names, dates, and addresses in house on your pre-printed branded sheets.
What else pairs well with custom letterheads?
A letterhead is one piece of a branded kit. Pair it with a matching booklet for catalogs, a printed banner for events, or a banner stand for your booth, all built from the same brand look.
