Eco Friendly Custom Stationery on Recycled and Cotton Paper

Eco Friendly Printer prints custom stationery for businesses, professional firms, nonprofits and individuals. A stationery set can include letterhead, envelopes, notecards, notepads, business cards and thank you cards, all printed on recycled or cotton paper with soy-based inks. Because the pieces are specified together, the paper shade, colors and logo placement match from one piece to the next.

What a stationery set can include

• Letterhead and envelopes, including second sheets for multi-page letters
• Notecards for personal notes and thank yous
• Notepads for the office, the front desk and client gifts
• Business cards on the same stock
• Thank you cards and folded greeting cards
• Envelopes in every size, with return address printing
• Mailing labels and branded seals

Business stationery

Law firms, accounting practices, medical offices, real estate agencies and other professional firms use printed stationery for client letters, proposals and formal notices. Small businesses use it for invoices, thank you notes and gift enclosures. For letterhead that will be printed again in the office, we recommend stocks that are tested to run through laser printers, so your team can print letters without curling or smudging. Our letterhead size guide covers margins and file setup.

Personal stationery

Personal stationery includes flat notecards, folded notes, monogrammed cards and correspondence sets with matching envelopes. These are often given as gifts or used for thank you notes after weddings and events. Common notecard sizes are 4.25 x 5.5 in and 4 x 6 in. Our notecard size guide lists sizes and their matching envelopes.

Papers and finishes

We offer recycled papers with up to 100% post-consumer content and 110lb cotton paper, which is made from cotton fiber instead of wood pulp. Shades range from bright white to natural and cream, and kraft paper gives a natural brown look. For a more formal set, we offer letterpress, foil stamping and edge painting on cards and envelopes. You can request paper samples to see and feel the stocks before you order.

How the eco choices apply to stationery

Stationery is reordered often, so the paper you choose has an effect over many years of reorders. Printing on recycled or cotton paper with soy-based inks lowers the impact of every order. Ordering the full set at once also cuts waste, because each piece is printed on the same stock and you are less likely to reprint a piece that does not match. Our article on recycled envelopes covers the envelope side of the set.

Planning your set

• Start with the pieces you use most, such as letterhead, envelopes and business cards.
• Use the same logo file, colors and fonts on every piece.
• Keep contact details in the same position on each piece so the set looks consistent.
• Tell us what printer your office uses if letterhead will be printed in-house.

How ordering works

Send your artwork, the pieces you need and the quantity of each. You can start your order online. We will recommend a paper and finish for the set and give you a price before anything is printed. Most stationery orders are ready in one to two weeks from artwork approval. For more printing for offices and shops, see printing for small businesses.
