Aletterhead is the heading at the top of a sheet of letter paper (stationery). It consists of a name, address, logoortrademark, and sometimes a background pattern.
Many companies and individuals prefer to create a letterhead template in a word processor or other software application. That generally includes the same information as pre-printed stationery but at lower cost. Letterhead can then be printed on stationery or plain paper, as needed, on a local output device or sent electronically.
Letterheads are generally printed by either the offsetorletterpress methods. In most countries outside North America, company letterheads are printed A4 in size (210 mm x 297 mm).[1] In North America, the letter size is typically 8.5 x 11 inches (215 x 280 mm).
Although modern technology makes letterheads very easy to imitate, they continue to be used as evidence of authenticity.[2][3]
