Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Supply a CMYK PDF at 300dpi with 3mm bleed on all sides, a total file size of 216 × 104mm, with fonts outlined or embedded and important text kept 3 to 5mm from the trim. Leave room for the handwriting: keep the branding simple and let white space do the rest. A blank compliment slip template is in the Templates section on this page.

How to set up your artwork

Bleed: 3mm beyond the trim on every side: Run backgrounds and images out to here, so there are no white edges when the sheet is trimmed.
Trim: the finished size: The finished size. This is where we cut.
Safe area: Keep text and logos well inside the trim, so nothing important is cut off.

FAQs – Compliment Slips

What size are compliment slips?

DL, 210 × 98mm. That is a third of an A4 sheet, so they fit standard DL envelopes and slip neatly into parcels.

Can I write on them?

Yes. They are printed on uncoated paper, which takes most pens and markers cleanly without smudging.

Which paper weight should I choose?

90gsm is light and right for everyday use. 120gsm has a little more substance, and 170gsm is the heaviest of the three. All take handwriting equally well.

Can they be printed double-sided?

Yes. A common approach is branding and contact details on the front, with terms, social handles or a reorder prompt on the back.

What is the smallest and largest quantity?

From 25 slips up to 100,000.

How long do they take?

Choose Saver (6 working days), Standard (4) or Express (2) when you order. That is production time and doesn't include delivery.

Are compliment slips the same as complimentary slips?

Yes. Complimentary slips is another name for the same thing: a DL slip, 210 × 98mm, sent with an order, a document or a gift, with room for a short handwritten note.

Can Printlogik design my compliment slips?

Yes. If you don't have artwork, or yours needs tidying up, our studio can set up your file or create the design from scratch. Ask for a design quote and we'll price it before you commit.
