Letterhead

Letterhead

A letterhead is the heading at the top of a sheet of letter paper. It usually consists of a name and an address, and a logo or corporate design, and sometimes a background. "Letterhead" may also refer to a piece of letter paper imprinted with such a heading.

There are various legal constraints on the items included in a letterhead, for example in England and Wales it may include the names of all directors or none, but not a selection.
