A compliment slip is the polite little extra that goes with a delivery, a returned document, a cheque, a sample or a set of brochures. It saves writing a full letter while still showing your logo, contact details and a personal line. Request a quote with your quantity and artwork using the form on this page, and we will email you a formal quote.
Compliment slips fall under our stationery range, which is a same-day category. With cleared payment and approved press-ready artwork by 09:00 on a business day, we make a priority attempt to have them ready for collection at our Rivonia store the same day. Same-day orders are collection only, and your quote confirms the turnaround for your exact spec.
Who uses compliment slips?
Any business that posts or hands over paperwork. Typical users include:
- Accountants and lawyers returning documents
- Online shops adding a thank-you note to parcels
- Suppliers sending samples or price lists
- Schools and churches sending notices home
- Medical practices sending reports and accounts
Getting the layout right
Most compliment slips are a third of an A4 sheet so they fit a standard DL envelope. Put your logo and the words "With compliments" at the top, contact details along the bottom, and leave the middle open for a handwritten note. Use the same colours and fonts as your letterheads and business cards so the set looks planned. Our design services team can adapt your existing stationery artwork.

Common questions
What size is a compliment slip?
The most common format is one third of an A4 sheet, which fits a DL envelope without folding. If you want a different size, mention it in your quote request and we will price it accordingly.
Can I order compliment slips with my letterheads?
Yes, and it is the easiest way to keep the set consistent. Request one quote covering letterheads, compliment slips, envelopes and business cards, or upload a list with all of them.
Can compliment slips be ready the same day?
Stationery is a same-day category. Pay and approve press-ready artwork by 09:00 on a business day and we make a priority attempt to have them ready for collection in Rivonia that day. It is collection only and not guaranteed.
What artwork format should I send?
A PDF, AI, EPS, SVG or high-resolution PNG or JPG all work. Add 3 mm bleed if any colour or image runs off the edge, and keep text away from the trim.
