What is a Letterhead?

A letterhead is a piece of stationary paper used for professional business correspondence or letters.  Letterheads in the US are a standard size of 8 1/2" x 11" or 8.5"x11" (letter size).  Letterheads are commonly purchased with matching envelopes. 

Creating your Digital Artwork File for printing Letterheads:

Your Letterheads PDF file should be 8.5" wide by 11" tall with a margin of a 1/2" (0.25) top, left, right and bottom. Please note that if you are printing in black ink only, any color in your digital PDF file will be converted to shade(s) of gray.  For color printing we recommend that you are working in and designing in CMYK color space rather than RGB color space to reduce any color shifts.  If you do submit a file with RGB color it will be automatically converted to CMYK.  Our preferred file format is PDF for the highest quality letterhead printing.  If you need help with letterhead file setup or need professional graphic design please give us a call at 678-561-8151.

Our Letterheads are printed using high quality #24/60 or #28/70 digital printing papers.  We preflight your Letterhead file to check for any obvious problems and upon request we will send you a PDF proof via email for you approval prior to printing. Once approved your file then moves through our digital workflow where your approved file is then processed by a powerful computer known in the printing industry as a rip which rasterizes your digital letterhead image to be laser generated and printed by one of our high speed digital printing press at speeds up to 90 press sheets per minute and at a minimum of 1200 dpi resolution. Once the printing is complete your job then moves to the bindery department for any cutting or trimming and packaging for shipment.
