The letterhead or letter paper or header is a sheet of format paper pre-printed on one or both sides for private or business correspondence by letter, to which a text and/or data must be individually added. The letterhead is used to simplify work in the office and any printing method, and usually contains relevant sender information. The business stationery typically contains the following sender information: the company name with legal form, the postal address, communication data (for example telephone number, e-mail address and fax), a logo (if usual), a reserved field for the recipient address, a reference line (your letter from..., your character from..., file number, clerk, date), a text field and at the bottom the visiting address, the bank details and, if applicable, the Internet address and the VAT identification number. If a logography exists, it is usually printed on the top. For internal use and easier archiving, small sorter, folding and/or perforation marks are often pre-printed. Additional or advertising information can be applied in light-coloured letters on the reverse side (for example, general terms and conditions or references to current promotions).
Business stationery in Germany is mostly cut in DIN A4 paper format and should be writable with common printers or the typewriter. The paper quality should be suitable for easy writing with liquid writing materials (inks, inks), dry toners and printer inks as well as foldable and hard as sound. In this respect, you should pay attention to the note "suitable for laser and inkjet printers" on letterhead paper. The paper is usually produced from softwood pulps with substantial additions of linters, hardwood pulps and straw. Letterhead papers are generally uncoated and fully glued.
In Germany, the design of the basic layout and the border or field marks is based on DIN 676, the subsequent writing of a letter on a pre-printed letterhead is based on DIN 5008 sample letter. Business letterheads are forms in the broadest sense. Private stationery usually contains only the postal address and some telecommunication data. With business letterheads, it should be noted that depending on the legal form of the company, certain details are mandatory, such as the managing director, entry in the commercial register, VAT ID number or tax number. Of course there are many other useful address data on letterhead. Frequently, general terms and conditions are also printed on the back of the letterhead.
More elegant stationery can be watermarked or specially equipped (for example, linen embossing, hammering, inlaid inlays). The typical grammage range is 70-120 g/m². The paper is usually simply applied and made more opaque than printing paper. When cutting letterhead for machine processing, the narrow web should be preferred so that the paper curls as little as possible, especially when subsequently printed with a laser printer. With regard to watermarks, a distinction is made between the quality levels "with continuous watermark" and "with passport watermark" or "with format watermark".
The standard paper for letterheads is also known as offset paper. Higher qualities run under the heading of fine papers. A well-known, exclusive paper quality is "genuinely handmade handmade paper with or without individual watermarks".
The letterheads should be adapted to the envelope and folded no more than twice in a spiral fold, fanfold or cross fold (appearance). Letterheads in DIN A4 format are therefore enveloped in C6 (postcard format with cross-fold or C6L (DIN long) with wrapper or fanfold (also "zig-zag fold"). For simple mail, the letterhead should not weigh more than 80 g/m², otherwise special postage will be charged for three or more sheets in the envelope.
