Letterhead

Letterhead describes a blank document that a company uses to send correspondence. Letterhead can be sent digitally or as a hard copy. A letterhead generally has the company's name and logo, and sometimes contains contact information like a phone number, address, or website URL (uniform resource locator).

Before computers, a letterhead was a preprinted hard copy inserted into a printer and used to print official company correspondence on it, making it an official company document.
