And compliment slips are meant to be \u003cem\u003ewritten on\u003c\/em\u003e — a quick \"thanks\", a signature, a note — so they're printed on uncoated stock, which takes pen ink cleanly. That's also why we don't laminate them: lamination seals the surface and most office pens won't write on it. Typical trade weights are 100gsm (standard) and 120gsm (premium).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtwork Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupply a print-ready \u003cstrong\u003ePDF in CMYK at 300 DPI with 3mm bleed\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Colours print slightly softer on uncoated stock, which is normal and part of its natural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompliment slip or letterhead — what's the difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e A letterhead is a full A4 sheet for formal printed correspondence (letters, invoices, contracts). A compliment slip is a small DL note for a short, often handwritten message enclosed with a parcel or document — less formal, more personal, cheaper to produce as part of a matched set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre compliment slips still worth it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — for any business that posts physical items. They add a branded, personal touch email can't, and keep your contact details in the recipient's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is a compliment slip?\u003c\/strong\u003e DL, 99 × 210mm — a third of A4, fits a DL envelope unfolded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I write on them?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — that's the point.
