Using Business Stationery

By Greg Tilley


Meant for commercial and official correspondence and usage is Business Stationery. Business Stationery can range from paper products such as business cards, letterheads, notes, labels, memos, computer sheets, typewriter stationery, checks and forms to other items like pens, folders, writing pads, clips, adhesives, tapes and highlighters.

Ordered in basic and subdued colors like cream, white, gray, or light blue are most of the Business Stationery. In some cases, where Business Stationery might need to reflect aggressiveness or brightness depending on its line of work, it could be procured in other colors also. The kind of impression that needs to be conveyed through its stationery is for the business head to decide. Because this mode of communication would be sent to almost all business associates, there is no doubt this decision is very important. Beforehand, one also needs to be clear as to the quantity that needs to be ordered as well as what stationery requirements are there in the business.

Since it also reflects the image of the company, the quality of the stationery items and its prints should be of good standard. Make sure that the paper used for the stationery should be of firm strength and the size should also be easy to handle. Before the stationery is printed, be sure to write down whatever needs to be put on the stationery such as the name, address, phone number, logo, and so on.

Due to legal requirements, there are times when you need to print some notifications depending on what is the line of business. For the placement of information, ready-made templates available for letterheads, envelopes and business cards, or have the stationery designed by professional consultants especially for your business needs is what one can get a hold of.

The cost of factor comes into play and this is another thing you need to remember. Ask for quotes from multiple stationers and printers. Checking references is also a good idea before you place your order. Something that you can contribute toward building a distinct identity for the business is Business Stationery which is why you should be extra careful while designing and ordering it. Most of the time, Business Stationery is the first contact with a prospective client or agency. Quality stationery can make a good impression for your business.
