Why is 60lb uncoated paper used for this letterhead instead of a coated sheet?
This letterhead is printed on 60lb uncoated paper at 8.5×11, with no coating on the surface. That plain surface takes pen ink well for signatures and handwritten notes. It also runs well through laser and inkjet office printers, so you can print letter text in-house onto the pre-printed sheets.
Common questions
What is the 60lb uncoated sheet like to handle and write on?
Uncoated paper has no gloss or sheen layer on top, so the surface is plain, natural paper rather than a slick finish. Because nothing sits over the paper fibers, ink from a pen or from an office laser or inkjet printer goes onto the sheet itself. That is why this stock suits letters you sign by hand or print onto at your desk.
Is there a coated or different-weight letterhead version I could pick instead?
No. The 60LB Uncoated version is the only letterhead version currently offered, so there are no sibling versions to compare. Every order uses 60lb uncoated paper at 8.5×11. The choice you make is within this version: printing on one side (4/0) or on both sides (4/4).
When should I order Printed 2 Sided (4/4) rather than Printed 1 Side (4/0)?
Choose 60lb Uncoated Printed 1 Side (4/0) when your design sits on the front only, such as a logo header and contact footer, with a blank back. Choose Printed 2 Sided (4/4) if you also want artwork on the reverse, such as a pattern, a secondary logo, or extra contact details. Supply a separate artwork file for each printed side.
What quantities of letterhead can I order?
You can order from 100 up to 10,000 sheets of 8.5×11 letterhead. A run of 100 works for a new business or a letter design you expect to change soon. Larger runs toward 10,000 suit offices that send letters regularly from one design and want a supply of sheets ready to load into their printers.
