Building a Consistent Stationery Set: Business Cards, Letterheads and Envelopes

Building a Consistent Stationery Set: Business Cards, Letterheads and Envelopes

Stationery is a small set of big impressions

Wandsworth combines a genuine business district with a strong residential community, and a lot of the companies and professionals working there send letters, quotes and invoices that clients actually see. A matching set of business cards, letterheads and envelopes gives a consistent and professional impression with very little effort.

What a set includes

At minimum: business cards, a letterhead for correspondence and envelopes to match. Many add compliment slips, notepads or appointment cards. Start with what you actually use, and add the rest as you need it.

Keep four things consistent

Use the same logo file, the same colours, the same typefaces and the same placement across every item. That's what makes a set look like a set rather than a collection. Our letterhead design tips go through the details.

Match the paper

A letterhead on one paper and envelopes on another can look mismatched. Choose a weight and finish that works across the set, and use a business card stock that feels consistent with it. Our paper weights guide helps with cards.

Envelopes

Envelope sizes need to suit your letters and how you fold them. Decide whether you want windowed or plain, and where the return address goes. Confirm sizes with us before you design.

Order together, reorder separately

Printing the set together keeps colours and layout aligned. After that, items run out at different rates, so keep your artwork files and reorder what you need. If your details change, update every file at once.
