Letterhead is the foundation of professional correspondence. Every proposal, contract, client letter, and official notice you send on branded letterhead carries your logo, company name, and contact details at the top of the page - projecting professionalism and attention to detail before the recipient reads a single word of content. A blank sheet of printer paper says nothing about who sent it. A well-designed letterhead says everything.
Copies America prints custom letterhead on two premium uncoated stocks - Linen Uncoated for a traditional, textured feel preferred by law firms and financial institutions, and Premium Opaque for a clean, bright white, modern presentation. Both are compatible with office laser and inkjet printers, so you can print your branded header in bulk and then run your correspondence through your own printer as needed.
Letterhead pairs naturally with matching envelopes and business cards to create a complete, consistent stationery package - we can produce all three with color-matched branding for a cohesive professional presentation.
| Sizes | 8.5" x 11" Standard Letter, 8.5" x 14" Legal, 5.5" x 8.5" Half Letter / Monarch, 7.25" x 10.5" Executive. |
| Paper Stock | 24lb Linen Uncoated (textured) or Premium Opaque Uncoated (smooth bright white). Both are office printer compatible. |
| Printed Side | 1-Sided (front only) or 2-Sided (front and back) - choose based on whether your correspondence prints on the reverse. |
| Print Method | Digital Offset full-color CMYK, or 1-Color Offset using a single PMS match or black ink for a clean, understated header. |
| Folding Options | No Fold (flat), Bi-Fold, Tri-Fold / Letter Fold, or Z-Fold - available if your letterhead doubles as a mailer insert. |
| Matching Envelopes | #10 Regular, #10 Window, or A9 Remittance envelopes available to complete your stationery set. |
| Turnaround | 3 to 5 business days standard from file approval. Rush production available - contact us before ordering to confirm availability. |
| Page Size | Match your chosen size exactly: 8.5" x 11", 8.5" x 14", 5.5" x 8.5", or 7.25" x 10.5". |
| Bleed | Add 0.125" on all four sides if your design extends to the edge - for example 8.75" x 11.25" for Standard Letter. No bleed needed if your header stays within the margins. |
| Safe Zone | Keep all logo, text, and contact details at least 0.125" from the trim edge on all sides. |
| Printed Area | Design your header and footer only - leave the body of the page blank for your office printer to add correspondence text afterward. |
| Resolution | 300 DPI minimum for any logo artwork or images placed in the header or footer. |
| Color Mode | CMYK for full-color printing. For 1-color orders, specify your PMS match or use 100% black. |
| File Format | Print-ready PDF preferred with all fonts embedded and transparency flattened. We also accept AI and EPS with embedded fonts and links. |
| Linen Uncoated | A subtle woven linen texture that is both visible and tactile - the recipient notices the quality before reading a word. The traditional choice for law firms, financial institutions, consultants, architects, and any professional whose correspondence should reflect established authority. Slightly muted color reproduction compared to smooth stock due to the textured surface. |
| Premium Opaque | A smooth, bright white surface with exceptional opacity - no show-through even with heavy ink coverage or double-sided printing. A clean, contemporary presentation favored by healthcare organizations, real estate firms, modern agencies, and any brand that wants premium letterhead quality without a traditional texture. Sharper color and text reproduction than linen due to the smooth surface. |
Linen letterheads are printed on a 24lb stock with a textured, woven surface that you can both see and feel - it is the traditional choice for law firms, financial institutions, and professional services firms that want their correspondence to project established authority. The texture does slightly soften color and text sharpness compared to a smooth stock, which is part of its classic character. Premium opaque letterheads use a smooth, bright white uncoated stock with excellent opacity, meaning there is no show-through even with heavy printing on both sides. The smooth surface produces sharper text and cleaner color reproduction, giving it a more modern, contemporary feel. Healthcare practices, real estate firms, and businesses that want a clean, current look tend to choose premium opaque, while firms in law, finance, and traditional professional services more often choose linen.
Yes. Both linen uncoated and premium opaque letterheads are compatible with standard laser and inkjet office printers. The uncoated surface on both stocks accepts toner and ink cleanly without smearing or jamming, which is the entire point of leaving the body of the page blank - you print your branded header and footer with us in bulk, then run your day-to-day correspondence through your own office printer whenever you need it. We recommend testing a single sheet through your specific printer model before running a full print job, since some older or lower-end printers can have difficulty feeding heavier stock consistently.
We print letterhead in four standard sizes: 8.5" x 11" Standard Letter, the size used for the vast majority of US business correspondence; 8.5" x 14" Legal, used for longer contracts and legal documents; 5.5" x 8.5" Half Letter or Monarch, a smaller format often used for personal or executive correspondence; and 7.25" x 10.5" Executive, a traditional formal letter size. Standard Letter is by far the most common choice for general business use. If you are setting up letterhead for a law firm or for documents that frequently run long, Legal size is worth considering so you do not need a separate stock for longer documents.
Choose full color CMYK if your logo uses multiple colors, gradients, or photography - this reproduces your brand exactly as designed. Choose 1-color if your logo is monochromatic, or if you specifically want a clean, single-ink look. Some firms find that a single-color letterhead on premium opaque or linen stock actually looks more elegant and authoritative than a full-color version, particularly in legal, financial, and other conservative industries where understated branding reads as more credible. Both printing options are available on either paper stock, so the choice comes down to your brand's visual identity and the impression you want your correspondence to make.
Yes. We offer matching #10 Regular, #10 Window, and A9 Remittance envelopes alongside our letterhead products, and we print business cards across five product lines including standard, suede, and painted edge options. We can color-match your letterhead, envelopes, and business cards so your complete stationery package presents a consistent, professional brand identity across every piece of correspondence a client or contact receives. Contact us to discuss a full stationery package and we will ensure color consistency across all the pieces.
A letterhead design typically covers only the header and footer of the page - your logo, company name, address, phone number, and any tagline or brand elements at the top, with a footer line at the bottom for things like a website URL or social handles. The entire body of the page between the header and footer is left blank so that you, or whoever drafts the correspondence, can type and print the actual letter content afterward using a standard office printer. This is different from a flyer or brochure where the full page is designed and printed at once - letterhead is intentionally a partial design that leaves room for variable content added later.
Set your document to your chosen page size exactly - most commonly 8.5" x 11". If your header design extends to the edge of the page, add 0.125" bleed on all four sides; if your header stays within the page margins, no bleed is needed. Keep all logo and text elements at least 0.125" from the trim edge as a safe zone. Design only the header and footer areas - leave the body blank. Use 300 DPI minimum resolution for any logo artwork, and work in CMYK for full-color printing or specify your exact PMS match for 1-color orders. Export as a print-ready PDF with fonts embedded and transparency flattened. If you need design assistance creating your letterhead layout from an existing logo, our graphic design team can help.
