I use letterheads for invoices, letters etc and also use them to hand write receipts where needed.

i use letter heads comp slips bus cards just use an invoice pad from staples at this stage for domestic but for commercial i use sage on the computer cant see the point in having ncr books printed for domestic work at this point for me.

I have a standard letter head/logo. My in van invoices are ncr (no carbon required) with space for custys name etc with total etc and plenty of room for description of job. Quote sheets the same. Letters and office invoices are straight of the pc. I even email invoices these days ;D I prefer my logo to be consistent throughout stationary incl business cards. I use a local printer and 250 invoices are around £40 ish.

Go to a printers who does menus and he'll have a design for you, if you don't get any success I'll bring one to the CCDO.

If it helps I can email invoice and letterhead to give you a start?

I use Microsoft Word templates, for Letterheads, quotes, Commercial Invoices. These automatically insert the date, and have fields to input customers details, what to clean or cleaned
If it needs to be a bit fancier i just print it on heavy paper.
Clinton was the reciept pad design any good in the end.

I got 10 receipt books made up last year (1000 receipts in total) with my address on etc...£227 it cost.. Then we moved house ::) ::) ::)

I go with AJB on this one. I use Microsoft word all the time like him. I just set up different templates for different situations - Invoices, quotes, covering letters, Etc; The details relevant to your particular customer are entered and then either posted or eMailed to them. If they are eMailed no stationery or postal costs are involved. We must, at this point eMail 60-70% of our invoices. Even most commercial customers are happy to work this way. Logically, if you think about it, if it is delivered by eMail, they can just integrate it into their computer files without the need to photocopy or scan them.
When I first started I used to use the best paper, best printers etc, thinking this would impress them. In short, I don't think it doe's, especially nowadays. If we mail anything now, we use 100gsm white paper - around £5 for 500 sheets as opposed to around £35- £40 top quality paper.
However, I have just seen a better system that doe's much more than this, that can actually automate the stationery side of your business. Kev Loomes is your man.
