Business Letterheads

Reinforce your brand identity with business letterheads from PrintGB

These office essentials are available in either 100gsm or 120gsm laser-guaranteed Premium Uncoated White Paper. Choose from single or double sided to suit your design and business requirements.

Professional business letterheads with a choice of weight

You can choose between our Standard 100gsm paper or our Premium 120gsm paper. They have been specially selected for letterheads as they are uncoated so are easily printed and written on. They are bright white so colours appear vivid and are designed to go through your home or office printer so that you can personalise them. Our Premium paper is slightly heavier so as a result is a stiffer paper to the touch and has a smoother surface.

All out letterheads are printed in the full colour process.

Please note

Quantities of 250 and over will be produced on litho presses and quantities below 250 will be printed using state of the art digital printing techniques.
