Printing business stationery can be easy with the use of a computer.
Setting up a new business can become costly. This is particularly true if you have considerations such as space rental, insurance, supplies and equipment. Even if you're lucky enough to have a business in which you don't have to worry about these things, such as a home- or Web-based business, you may still be looking for ways to save a buck. Printing your own business stationery can help you cut costs. With a computer and a basic word processing or desktop publishing program, you can print your own professional-looking business stationery at a fraction of the cost of using a printing service.
Instructions
1. Open a desktop publishing program that is capable of making letterheads, business cards, envelopes and labels.
2. Start by making your letterhead. Open a new file for creating letterheads.
3. Select the font you want on your business stationery and enter your business name as the first line of your letterhead. Highlight the name with your mouse and bold it.
4. Insert your business address on lines two and three. Type your building or P.O. box number and street name on line two. Enter the city, state and ZIP code on line three.
5. Type your business phone number on the fourth line. Start with the area code and then type the remaining numbers.
6. Create a business slogan for your company and enter it below your phone number inside quotation marks. A slogan is a short phrase that's easy to remember that people will associate with your products or services. Something along the lines of "Service with excellence" or "You can count on us" are general business slogans. Highlight your slogan with your mouse and italicize it.
7. Highlight all your text and use your alignment tool to align it where you want it to be on the page -- left, right or center.
8. Save your document and print out as many letterheads as you need.
9. Repeat this process to make business cards, envelopes and labels. Use the same font when creating each type of stationery.
