A letterhead is a printed heading on a sheet of paper that typically includes the name, address, and logo of a company or organization. It is often used for official correspondence, such as business letters, memos, and invoices. The purpose of a letterhead is to provide a professional and consistent image for the company or organization, as well as to provide contact information for the recipient. Letterheads are typically designed to be visually appealing and to reflect the branding and image of the company or organization. They may include a variety of design elements, such as a background pattern, a border, or a watermark. The logo and company name are usually prominently displayed at the top of the page, followed by the address, phone number, and email address. In addition to providing contact information, letterheads may also include other important details, such as the date, reference number, or the name and title of the sender. This information helps to ensure that the recipient can easily identify the sender and the purpose of the correspondence. Letterheads are commonly used in both print and digital formats. In the digital age, many companies and organizations use electronic letterheads, which are designed to be used in email correspondence or as a template for digital documents.
