Your company stationery: letterheads, envelopes, folders and notepads that polish your image

Company stationery: letterheads and envelopes

A quote on a well-designed letterhead, an envelope bearing your name, a folder that neatly holds your documents together: these details speak before you do. For a tradesperson, a self-employed professional or a small business in the Gers and Landes, stationery isn't an accessory — it's the everyday extension of your identity. When every item follows the same brand guidelines, your customers perceive an organised, trustworthy business. Here's how to put together consistent stationery that works for your image, letter after letter.

Letterhead paper: the signature on every letter

Letterhead paper remains the cornerstone of any professional correspondence. Letters, proposals, certificates: it reminds people who you are and how to reach you, with a touch of gravitas. The trick is fitting in the right information without overcrowding the page: logo, company name, address, phone number, email, website, and the legal notices (SIRET number, legal structure, VAT) in the footer. A standard A4 format, printed on 90 to 120 gsm paper, is enough for most cases; it stays pleasant to handle and compatible with your office printer. For your most important letters, a heavier weight and a slightly textured paper immediately lift the perceived quality.

Personalised envelopes that set the tone

An envelope in your brand colours turns a simple mailing into a professional gesture, right from the letterbox. Several options are available depending on the use and content:

  • DL size (110 x 220 mm) for an A4 letter folded in three, the standard for business and administrative mailings;
  • C5 size for an A4 letter folded in half, and C4 for a flat, unfolded A4 sheet, ideal for files or contracts;
  • With a window, to display your recipient's address and save time on bulk mailings;
  • Without a window, a smarter option for a carefully presented or personalised letter.

On every design, your logo and contact details on the back or in the corner are enough to brand the mailing without cluttering it. All of this is part of our commercial printing range, designed to stay consistent from one item to the next.

Flap folders and presentation wallets

When you hand over a quote, a project file or a contract in person, a flap folder makes all the difference. It protects your documents, presents them neatly and keeps your logo in front of the client for the whole meeting. It's a format valued by self-employed professionals, agencies and tradespeople who visit clients on site. A well-designed wallet often includes a slot for a business card — a chance to remind people of your contact details at the very moment they're making their decision. Printed on 300 to 350 gsm card with a matte or laminated finish, it inspires confidence and holds up well in transit.

Notepads, notebooks and compliment slips

Stationery also helps you stay present in your customers' daily lives. A personalised notepad sitting on a desk, a branded notebook handed out at a meeting: these items extend your visibility well beyond the first contact. A compliment slip, meanwhile, accompanies a mailing with a personal note — a thank you, a thoughtful touch with an order, a follow-up after a job. Short and elegant, it adds a human touch to the relationship and leaves a lasting impression at little cost. These items also showcase local craftsmanship: our products carry the Made in Occitania label, a mark of local provenance your customers appreciate.

Invoices, paper quotes and overall consistency

Even in the digital age, a quote or invoice handed over on paper still carries real value, especially with private customers or on a job site. The key is making sure all your administrative documents follow the same guidelines as your business card and your letterhead: the same colours, the same logo, the same typography. This visual consistency is what sets a polished image apart from a patchwork of mismatched documents. A few technical pointers help guarantee it:

  • supply high-resolution PDF files (300 dpi), in CMYK, with a 3mm bleed and text converted to outlines;
  • choose the right paper weight: 90-120 gsm for letters, 250-350 gsm for folders and card items;
  • keep finishes (matte, gloss, soft-touch) consistent across the whole range.
