When you would use this
A letterhead is the page a firm's correspondence is printed on. It carries who you are at the top, how to reach you, and — in most countries — registration details at the bottom that a letter is legally expected to show.
It is a whole page, not a banner. This is the thing most letterhead tools get wrong and it has consequences. A pad has a header, a footer and margins that the body text must respect. Produce a strip for the top and you have produced a graphic, not a letterhead: it cannot be used as a page background, the footer is missing, and nothing tells the typist where the text may start. What comes out of this is a full A4 page with an empty body, which is exactly what a printer expects when you order pads.
The footer is the half people forget. Company registration number, tax number, registered office — in the UK, the EU, Pakistan, India and much of the Gulf, a business letter is expected to show some of these, and a letterhead without them is one you will replace. It is also where a website and a second office belong; the header should stay uncluttered enough to read at a glance.
The three layouts are deliberately few. A hairline rule under the name is quiet and prints cleanly on any printer and any paper. A band is confident and uses a noticeable amount of ink on every sheet, which matters if you print hundreds. A side bar reads as designed and needs a wider left margin, which is handled here but which you should remember when someone puts a punched hole through it.
Use a logo with a transparent background if you have one — a PNG on white looks fine on white paper and shows a grey rectangle the moment it lands on anything else. And keep the header restrained: the letterhead is not the message, it is what the message arrives on.
Once you have the pad, the natural next step is putting it behind documents you already have. That is what the letterhead stamping tool does, and it takes exactly this file.
Questions
- Why is the page empty below the header?
- Because that is what a letterhead is — a page you write on. The empty body is deliberate, and it is what lets the file be used as a page background for documents you already have.
- What should go in the footer?
- Registration number, tax number and registered office if your country expects them on business correspondence, plus your website. Many jurisdictions require some of these, and it is the commonest omission.
- Which layout should I choose?
- Hairline unless you have a reason otherwise — it prints cleanly on anything. A band uses a lot of ink across a print run. A side bar needs care if sheets get hole-punched.
- How do I use it on an existing document?
- Take the PDF to the 'add letterhead to any PDF' tool. It draws this page behind each page of your document, which is the same result as printing onto headed paper.
- Can I use a JPG logo?
- Yes, but a transparent PNG is better. A JPG carries a white box that looks fine on white paper and shows as a grey rectangle on anything else.
- Is anything I type sent to you?
- No. The PDF is built in your browser and nothing is transmitted or stored.
