Letterhead and headed paper design
Letterhead and headed paper design in Ireland. Print ready artwork plus an editable Word template, so your letters always start in the right place.
The document people actually keep
Most things a business sends get read once and deleted. Letters are different. Contracts, quotes, offers and formal notices get printed, filed and looked at again months later, often by somebody deciding whether to trust you.
A letterhead is a small piece of design doing quiet work. It has to identify you immediately, leave enough room for a real letter, and stay out of the way of the words.
Built for two different jobs
Almost every business needs the same thing twice. Printed stock for posted letters, and a template for the far greater number of letters that get sent as a PDF.
We supply both. The print artwork is set up with proper bleed and safe margins for your printer. The Word or Google Docs template has the margins locked so text starts in the right place every time and never collides with the footer, no matter who in the office is typing it.
What goes on the page
The legal detail matters here. An Irish registered company has to carry its registered name, registered office, company number and place of registration on business letters. Most letterheads either leave it off or let it swamp the footer.
We set it small, correct and out of the way, alongside the things people actually use: phone, email, website and address.
Part of a set
Letterhead rarely travels alone. It works best designed at the same time as business cards and compliment slips, so the margins, type sizes and colour weights agree with each other across the set.
If you already have a logo we will build to it. If the logo is the weak link we will say so before you commit to printing a thousand sheets.
Frequently asked questions
What do I get with a letterhead design?
Print ready artwork with correct bleed and margins for your printer, and a Word or Google Docs template you can type straight into. Most people need both, because the printed stock is for posted letters and the template is for everything sent as a PDF.
How much does letterhead design cost in Ireland?
Letterhead is usually priced as part of a stationery set with business cards and compliment slips, since designing them together costs less than designing them one at a time. It can be quoted on its own if that is all you need.
Can you make a version I can type into in Word?
Yes, and it is worth having. The template is built with the margins set so your text always starts in the right place and never runs over the footer, whoever in the office is typing.
Do you handle the printing as well?
We supply print ready files and can deal with your printer directly on paper stock, weight and finish. If you do not have a printer we can point you at ones we know deliver on time.
What has to appear on an Irish company letterhead?
An Irish registered company has to show its registered name, registered office address, company registration number and place of registration on its business letters. We build that into the layout so it is there without dominating the page.
Will it match the rest of my brand?
Yes. The letterhead uses the same type, colour and spacing rules as your logo and cards. If those rules do not exist yet we will set them so everything afterwards lines up.

It was great working with Kieran. He quickly understood exactly what I was looking for.
