Things to consider

Brand Identity:

Ensure the slip reflects your brand’s colours, logo, and overall aesthetic to reinforce brand recognition and maintain consistency across all forms of communication.

Size and Format

Choose a standard size (e.g., DL, A5) that fits well with your packaging or correspondence. Consider whether it will be printed on a single sheet or folded.

Material Quality

Use high-quality, substantial paper stock to enhance the perceived value of your brand. Our slips are printed on 100gsm card as standard, ensuring a premium feel and practical durability.

Clear Message

Include a concise, friendly message expressing gratitude for their business. Adding your company tagline to compliment slips reinforces your brand messaging. Make it as personal as possible by including a handwritten note, such as addressing the recipient by name.

Visual Appeal

Incorporate design elements like graphics or patterns that complement your branding but don’t overwhelm the message.

Whitespace

Use whitespace effectively to create a clean and uncluttered look. This helps the message stand out.

Call to Action

Consider including a subtle call to action, like a discount code or an invitation to follow on social media, you can even consider incorporating a QR code into the design.

Contact Information

Include your website, phone number, or social media handles for easy reference. You may also wish to include your company address if it is a location that welcomes visitors.

Legibility

Choose fonts that are easy to read, and ensure good contrast between text and background colours.

Print Quality

Ensure high-quality printing to avoid pixelation or fading. If printing slips yourself, ensure to test print a few samples to see how they look in real life.

Sustainability

Consider using recycled or eco-friendly materials to align with environmentally conscious values. If you’re working with a professional printer, such as The Printed Word, ensure they source materials from an FSC-accredited supplier (we do!), demonstrating a commitment to responsible forestry.

Cultural Sensitivity

Be mindful of language and imagery to ensure it resonates positively with your audience.

What is the purpose of a compliment slip?

A compliment slip is a printed note that accompanies business correspondence or deliveries. It typically includes a brief message, company logo, and contact details. The main purpose is to add a personal touch to your communication, whether you’re sending documents, samples, or products. Compliment slips make your business look more professional and help build a stronger connection with clients.

A typical compliment slip includes your company name, logo, contact details (phone number, email, and website), and a brief message, such as “With Compliments.” There’s also space for a short handwritten note if desired, making it a simple yet effective way to personalise your communication with clients or business partners.

Compliment slips can help enhance your customer relationships by adding a personal and professional touch to your communications. By including a handwritten message or simply signing the slip, you show that you value the recipient. This small gesture can make clients feel more appreciated, which may foster stronger, longer-term business relationships.

In the UK, compliment slips are typically printed in DL size (210mm x 99mm), which allows them to fit neatly inside a standard DL envelope. This size provides enough space for your logo, contact details, and a brief message while remaining compact and easy to include with your correspondence.

Compliment slips are generally printed on uncoated 90gsm or 120gsm paper to allow for easy handwriting. Uncoated paper has a natural, textured finish, which makes it easy to write on and adds a touch of sophistication. Heavier paper stocks can be used for a more premium feel, but they should remain practical for everyday business use.

Compliment slip printing typically takes 2-4 working days, depending on the print service and complexity of the design. If you require special finishes like embossing or custom colours, this may add to the turnaround time.

Yes, compliment slips can be designed with space for personalisation. You can leave room for a handwritten note, or you could use variable data printing to include different customer names or messages on each slip. This allows you to maintain a professional design while adding a customised touch for individual clients. If you’d like us to print dynamic content on the compliment slips, such as customer names or specific team member sign-offs, get in touch— our dedicated design team will be happy to help!

Investing in professionally printed compliment slips helps ensure a high-quality finish that reflects positively on your business. Professionally designed slips can be customised to match your brand identity, reinforcing your professionalism and attention to detail. They also add a personal touch to your communications, making your interactions with clients more memorable.
