Compliment slips

Print both sides if you want the slip to feel part of the stationery suite. Print the front only, at $215 for 500 against $315, when the slip sits face-up on a document or needs room for a handwritten note.

DL is a third of an A4 sheet (99 x 210mm). The stock is 100gsm uncoated and laser safe, so you can run slips through an office printer if you want to add a typed note.

Every compliment slip is checked by a person against our written proof checklist. For compliment slips, that means:

• Trim size, 3mm bleed and safe area. On a DL slip the safe area is narrow, so we check that your contact details are not crowded towards the trim.
• Colour space and brand colour values. Uncoated stock prints colour softer than a coated card. We check your CMYK and Pantone references so the slip matches your letterhead.
• Fonts embedded or outlined, and fine text and hairlines that might fill in on uncoated paper.
• Phone numbers, emails and web addresses formatted consistently with your letterhead and cards.
• Sector details, such as ABN or ACN, licence numbers or a professional standards scheme line, where you would expect them. We flag gaps; it is not legal advice.
• Front and back orientation. If you print both sides, we check that the back reads the right way up when the slip is turned over.
• Writing space. If the slip is meant for a handwritten note, we check that the printed design leaves room for one.

Our target for compliment slips is 5 to 7 business days after you approve the proof, the same as letterheads, so a matched set can be printed and delivered together. Delivery to metro Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Canberra is included in every price. Perth, Hobart, Darwin and regional addresses are quoted at cost before you pay.

Priority turnaround adds 25% (minimum $95) and dispatches one business day sooner where the product allows. Your consultant confirms the date before you pay. Split delivery to other offices is $35 per additional metro address.

Yes, as quoted work. The builder covers DL slips on our letterhead stock; slips on a cotton or heavier writing stock are specified and quoted by your consultant together with a matching letterhead, so the two match.

Compliment slips are part of The Practice Suite, which brings cards, letterheads, slips, envelopes and folders together under one design direction. If you are refreshing a firm's stationery, it is worth a look before ordering items one by one.

Storage and scheduled reorder is $29 a month: we hold your approved artwork and up to four cartons of stock, and reorder on a schedule you set.
