Premium opaque letterheads are printed on thick, bright white uncoated stock with exceptional opacity - meaning text and images on one side do not show through to the other side. This high-opacity paper delivers a clean, modern, professional appearance that is especially valuable for double-sided letterheads, heavy text blocks, and any correspondence where content clarity and presentation quality are paramount.
The smooth, bright white surface gives colors exceptional vibrancy and text exceptional sharpness compared to standard bond paper - making your branding stand out while maintaining the uncoated surface compatibility that lets you run these sheets through any standard laser or inkjet printer in your office. Preferred by modern businesses, healthcare organizations, real estate firms, and any brand that wants their letterhead to feel premium without the traditional linen texture.

Standard bond paper allows text and images from one side to show through to the other, especially with dense content or dark print. Premium opaque stock eliminates this problem, keeping both sides clean and readable.
Premium opaque stock has a higher brightness value than standard bond, making colors more vibrant and text sharper. Your logo and branding appear more vivid on premium opaque than on regular office paper.
The heavier weight of premium opaque stock is immediately noticeable when a recipient picks up the letter. That physical weight communicates importance and quality before a single word is read.

Premium opaque stock has three key advantages over standard 20lb bond: higher opacity (preventing text show-through on heavy-content pages), higher brightness (making colors more vibrant and text sharper), and greater weight (giving the page a more substantial, quality feel). The combination produces a letterhead that looks and feels meaningfully more professional than a standard photocopier-weight sheet.
Yes. Premium opaque letterheads are compatible with standard laser and inkjet office printers. The uncoated surface accepts toner and ink well. We recommend testing a single sheet through your specific printer before running a full quantity, as some older or lower-end printers may have difficulty feeding slightly heavier stock.
Linen letterheads have a textured woven surface that is visible and tactile - the traditional choice for legal, financial, and professional services firms. Premium opaque letterheads have a smooth, bright white surface with no texture - a modern, clean look preferred by contemporary businesses, healthcare organizations, and any brand that wants a premium feel without a traditional texture.
Choose full color CMYK if your logo uses multiple colors, gradients, or photography. Choose 1-color if your logo is monochromatic or if you prefer a clean, single-ink look - some brands find that a single-color letterhead on premium opaque stock looks more elegant and authoritative than full color. Both options are available for premium opaque letterheads.
