Order custom letterheads in Canada from $119 — 8.5″ × 11″ cut to finish size, printed full-colour CMYK on premium 70lb smooth offset paper, manufactured in-house at our Toronto facility, delivered next business day across the GTHA and Canada-wide. If your business sends out invoices, formal correspondence, client letters, contracts or proposals, professionally printed letterhead is one of the highest-ROI brand investments you can make — the same letter on plain white printer paper versus on properly printed letterhead reads completely differently to the recipient. This guide walks you through what to specify, why offset-printed letterhead beats inkjet-printed letterhead from your office printer, and why our Premium Letterheads are the most-ordered letterhead format in the GTHA.
Why Use Custom Letterhead in 2026?
Letterhead solves a brand-perception problem that email cannot: when you send a formal letter, contract, invoice or proposal on plain printer paper, it reads as casual. On properly printed letterhead, it reads as established and credible. The cost differential is trivial — about 12 cents per sheet for premium letterhead versus 1 cent for plain paper — but the perceived professionalism gap is enormous.
Documents that should go on letterhead include:
- Formal client correspondence — quotes, proposals, engagement letters, statements of work.
- Legal and professional documents — retainer agreements, audit letters, opinion letters, engagement letters.
- Invoices for larger clients — a $50,000 invoice on letterhead lands very differently than the same invoice on plain paper.
- Contracts and signed agreements where the cover page sets the impression.
- Reference letters and recommendations from professionals to clients or employees.
- Medical and dental records, prescriptions and patient communications from healthcare practices.
- Real estate disclosures, listing agreements and presentation packages.
- Notary documents and law firm correspondence.

- Free PDF proof before printing.
- Custom design assistance available if you do not have a print-ready file.
- 24-hour in-house printing at our Toronto facility.
- Next-business-day GTHA delivery, Canada-wide standard Canada Post shipping.
Letterhead Design Best Practices
If you are designing letterhead from scratch (or asking us to design it for you), the elements that matter:
- Logo and business name at the top. Left, right or centred — personal preference, but consistency with your business cards matters more than the alignment choice.
- Full mailing address, phone, email and website in the header or footer. The recipient should be able to respond by any channel without hunting.
- Leave the centre of the page blank. This is where your letter content goes when you print through your office laser printer. Top 1.5″ for letterhead, body, bottom 1″ for footer is the standard layout.
- Match your business cards and envelopes. Letterhead + business cards + envelopes as a coordinated set is the working norm — single-source from us in one shipment.
- Keep it timeless. Trendy fonts and colours age fast. Letterhead you print today should still look fresh in 3 years.
- Include your registered business name AND your operating name if they differ — simplifies legal correspondence and contract enforcement.
- Professional credentials if applicable — “CPA, CA”, “Barrister & Solicitor”, “P.Eng”, “BFA”. Builds credibility on every page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print my letterhead through my office laser printer?
Yes — that is the working norm. Our 70lb smooth offset paper is compatible with every standard office laser and inkjet printer. Pre-printed letterhead goes in the tray, your office printer fills in the letter body. The result looks like the entire page was offset-printed.
How many sheets should I order?
500 sheets is the standard starting quantity — enough for most established small businesses for 6 to 12 months. High-volume law firms, accounting practices and notaries often order 1,000 or 2,500 at a time.
Can I get matching envelopes?
Yes. We offer matching office envelopes in standard #10, window and double-window formats, printed with the same colours and brand elements as your letterhead. Order together for one shipment.
Do you offer letterhead design services?
Yes. Send us your logo and design preferences, and our design team will create a print-ready layout. Free PDF proof before printing.
Will my logo colours print correctly?
Yes. Our offset printing is colour-calibrated to your PDF proof. Specify Pantone colours if exact brand matching matters; otherwise CMYK conversions are typically very close to your screen and brand standards.
How fast can I get letterhead in a rush?
PDF proof within one business day. Printing within 24 hours of approval. Next-business-day delivery to the GTHA, Canada-wide three to five business days via Canada Post.
Can I order multiple letterhead designs (different departments, signatories)?
Yes. Common for law firms (different lawyer letterheads), accounting practices (different partner letterheads) and multi-location businesses. Order each version as a separate item; we ship them together.
