Artwork requirements
- Supply an A4 PDF; add 3 mm bleed if colour or images run to the edge.
- Keep the letter writing area clear and check the layout against your word-processing template margins.
- Include registration or practice numbers, VAT number and directors exactly as they must appear.
- Avoid very heavy solid areas: uncoated paper absorbs ink and toner differently from coated stock.
- Supply logos as vector files where possible so small text stays crisp.

Turnaround options
Standard turnaround suits most letterhead orders. Express helps when you have run out or details have changed. Same-day is possible for A4 letterheads on stocked paper, subject to product eligibility, stock, capacity, quantity, artwork readiness and finishing, with full payment, usable artwork and approvals before the configured cutoff, and the 40% Same-Day Priority Production surcharge applies to the eligible printing and production subtotal. Specialty papers not in stock, large quantities, matching envelopes or design work push a job off same-day.

FAQs
Can I run printed letterheads through my office printer?
Generally yes. Most inkjet and laser printers handle them well. Some laser printers run hot enough to soften toner on pre-printed sheets, so test a few sheets before loading a full ream.
Should I just print letterheads from Word instead?
For small volumes that works. Pre-printed letterheads give sharper logos, true full-bleed edges and consistent colour that most office printers cannot match.
Can you print compliment slips to match?
Yes. DL compliment slips are a common companion item and can use the same artwork elements.
Which paper weight should I choose?
Standard office weight feeds most reliably. Heavier bond feels more premium but check your printer's paper specifications first.
