Size and layout
The usual size is DL (99 x 210mm), a third of an A4 sheet, so it fits a DL envelope without folding. The design normally repeats your letterhead branding with the words 'With compliments' and leaves space for a handwritten note.
- Logo and contact details along the top or bottom.
- Plenty of writing space in the middle.
- Uncoated paper so pens do not smudge.
Artwork
Supply a PDF at 99 x 210mm plus 3mm bleed if the design reaches the edge. Avoid gloss lamination – it makes writing difficult. If you already have letterhead artwork, the team can adapt it to compliment slip size as part of design help (charged extra).

Pair it with
Letterheads, DL envelopes and business cards make a consistent set. See business stationery or bundle everything in a corporate stationery pack.
Where compliment slips are used
Accounts departments slip them in with statements, sales teams attach them to brochures and samples, and dispatch teams pop one into parcels. A short handwritten note on a printed slip feels more personal than a printed letter, and costs far less than a full letterhead. Keep a pad at reception and in the dispatch area.
