letterhead

Official correspondence paper

Letterhead is the printed heading at the top of official stationery—typically showing an organization's name, logo, and contact information.

By extension, letterhead refers to the stationery itself: The memo came on company letterhead.

Writing on letterhead signals formality and institutional backing.
