First Impressions That Begin Before the Meeting
Custom letter heads are one of the most enduring business communication tools because they carry your brand identity into every formal interaction. A well-designed letterhead signals professionalism, credibility, and attention to detail from the moment a client or partner picks up the page. At Teal Packaging, we produce custom letterheads with a 2-week turnaround, a minimum order of 50 units, and Free shipping is included on every Teal order, with delivery details confirmed during quoting.
Our manufacturing partners print custom letterheads on premium paper stocks with a range of finishes that bring your brand identity to life on the page. Free design support is included with every order, covering layout, typography, and full colour proofing so your letterheads arrive exactly as you envisioned. Whether you need a single letterhead design for general correspondence or a set of branded stationery for different departments or use cases, we handle every detail.
For a complete branded stationery and packaging solution, pair your letterheads with our custom gift boxes for premium proposal and welcome pack presentations, or our custom retail boxes for branded packaging across your full business identity.
Materials and GSM Specifications
The paper weight of your custom letterhead communicates as much as the design printed on it. Heavier paper feels more authoritative and premium in the hand, while lighter weights suit high-volume correspondence.
Our options include:
- 80 GSM Bond Paper: A standard office weight paper suited for high-volume correspondence where cost efficiency matters. Laser and inkjet printer compatible for overprinting with variable content.
- 100 GSM Uncoated Stock: A step up in weight and quality. Noticeably more substantial than standard copy paper and significantly more impressive in a client presentation context. Still printer-compatible for overprinting.
- 120 GSM Uncoated Stock: A premium letterhead weight that feels confident and authoritative. Common in law firms, financial services, and high-end professional services where document quality reflects company stature.
- 150 GSM Uncoated Stock: A heavy, luxury letterhead stock for proposals, contracts, and formal communications where the document itself is intended to make a strong impression.
- 170 GSM Coated Silk: A smooth coated stock suited for letterheads that feature full-colour photography or richly detailed artwork. Not recommended for overprinting with standard office printers.
All paper stocks are FSC-certified. Soy-based inks are used across all print runs. Uncoated stocks are available with recyclable options by specification through standard paper recycling.
Customization Options
A custom printed letterhead is your brand on paper. Every element should be intentional.
Our customization options include:
- Printing: Full-colour CMYK or Pantone-matched spot colour printing for precise brand colour accuracy. One-colour, two-colour, and full-colour designs are all available.
- Finishes: Uncoated for a natural, professional feel with printer compatibility; silk-coated for a smooth, refined surface with excellent colour reproduction; matte-coated for a flat, premium look without shine.
- Foil Stamping: Gold, silver, or holographic foil on your company logo, crest, or header element for a distinguished, high-authority presentation.
- Embossing and Debossing: Raised or recessed brand elements such as a letterhead logo, monogram, or border pattern for a tactile premium finish.
- Watermark: A custom watermark printed or embossed into the paper for security and authenticity in sensitive document applications.
- Perforations: Tear-off strips or stub sections for letterheads used with invoice or order confirmation documents.
- Matching Stationery: Letterheads can be ordered alongside matching envelopes, compliment slips, and business cards to create a complete branded stationery suite.
Our design team will lay out your letterhead to professional typographic standards, incorporating your logo, contact details, business address, and any regulatory text required in your industry or jurisdiction.

Sustainability Commitment
Every custom letterhead produced by Teal Packaging uses FSC-certified paper stocks and soy-based inks. FSC certification provides assurance that your stationery paper comes from forests managed to rigorous environmental and social standards, with verified chain of custody from forest to press.
Soy-based inks are a responsible alternative to petroleum-based printing inks, producing less VOC emissions during the print process and being easier to de-ink during paper recycling, which improves the recyclability of printed stationery at end of use. All uncoated letterhead stocks are available with recyclable options by specification through standard office paper collection streams.
For businesses making a public commitment to environmental responsibility, being able to say that your stationery is FSC-certified and printed with soy-based inks is a small but genuine and verifiable contribution to your sustainability story. Pair your stationery with our custom mailer boxes or custom subscription boxes to extend sustainable material practices across your outgoing correspondence and product packaging.
