I rarely use letterhead. You can scan your company logo into word to create documents with your letterhead on top so you won’t have to purchase letterhead.
Same for envelopes. I just bought a ink stamp from Vistaprint and we stamp the upper left hand corner of envelopes. Last year we switched to a cleaner option, to use our office printer to print the address in the upper left hand corner of the envelopes. This is done while I’m at the surgery center. The envelopes I ordered I never used.
