Letterhead that looks official.
not just corporate.

Letterhead design is the practice of creating the standardised stationery template that carries a business's visual identity on official correspondence — physical letters, legal documents, invoices, formal communications, and digital documents (Word, Google Docs, PDF). A proper letterhead design includes brand logo placement, company details (name, address, phone, email, GSTIN, CIN where applicable), tagline or positioning statement, consistent typography and spacing, a second-page continuation design for multi-page documents, and both print-ready and editable digital templates. Good letterhead balances formality with brand personality — it should look official without looking generic.

Letterhead design costs in India scale with brand complexity and template format count. Basic letterhead design (single design, print-ready PDF): ₹2,000-₹10,000. Standard letterhead (print + Word template + Google Docs template, second-page design, revisions): ₹8,000-₹30,000. Enterprise letterhead systems (multi-vertical variants, multi-location, multi-language, print production coordination): ₹25,000-₹1,00,000+. Many clients bundle letterhead with visiting card design and other stationery as part of brand identity packages — bundled stationery projects typically run ₹15,000-₹1,50,000 depending on scope.

Yes — this is one of the most important deliverables for letterhead design because most official letters get typed in Word or Google Docs, not Illustrator. Clarvity delivers both: a Word template (.docx) with your letterhead design embedded as the header, correct margins set, and placeholder text ready to replace; and a Google Docs template with the same setup, shared to your Drive. The templates handle multi-page documents automatically — your letterhead appears on page 1, second-page continuation design appears on subsequent pages. Your team types directly into these templates for day-to-day correspondence without needing design software.

Yes — multi-location and multi-vertical letterheads require more work than single-location designs. Multi-location setups need variant templates per location with correct address, phone, and local registration details, often with a shared design header and location-specific footer. Multi-vertical businesses (holding companies with multiple subsidiaries, or firms serving distinct industries with distinct brands) need either sub-brand variants of a master design or distinct designs per vertical that still read as one organisation. Multi-language letterheads (English + Hindi, English + regional, bilingual) add another layer. Clarvity handles all these scenarios with variant systems that stay visually coherent.

Essential elements on an Indian business letterhead: company name and logo; registered office address with pincode; phone and email; GSTIN (for GST-registered businesses, often required on invoices); CIN (Corporate Identity Number for private limited and public limited companies, required on company correspondence under Companies Act 2013); PAN (optional but useful on invoices); website URL. Optional elements: tagline, social media handles, branch addresses, authorised dealer/registration marks. For regulated industries (healthcare, legal, financial services, education), additional registration numbers (MCI, BCI, SEBI, UGC) may be required by law. Clarvity designs letterheads with your required legal elements correctly placed per Indian compliance norms.

Standard letterhead design projects run 5-10 business days: 1-2 days for brief and brand review, 2-3 days for 2-3 design directions, 2-3 days for revisions on selected direction, 1-2 days for finalisation and template production (Word, Google Docs, print-ready PDF). Rush turnarounds of 2-3 days are available for urgent needs at 40-50% premium. Enterprise multi-location or multi-vertical letterhead systems with approval cycles typically run 2-4 weeks. For clients bundling letterhead with full brand identity, letterhead is one of the final deliverables after logo and brand system are approved.
