Letterhead, Envelopes and Business Cards

All official stationery and business cards are ordered online at nortonlewis.com/stmarys/orders.php. Orders are monitored and edited for style by the Office of University Communications, which also gives final approval.

Letterhead

The standard 8 1/2 x 11 stationery and No. 10 envelope are available in two types of stock, cream-colored laid and bond, which is the less expensive of the two choices. This stationery is always printed in the University color, PMS 2955 blue.

To preserve and enhance the University's identification, all letterhead, envelopes and business cards must bear the official logo in the official St. Mary's stationery style. The required typeface for all addresses on letterhead and envelopes is Goudy Oldstyle, 9 point.

Whenever a department or division needs a graphic element to identify a specific program, contact the Office of University Communications at 436-3327.

Envelopes

University policy prohibits the use of individual names on office envelopes. Although envelopes may be ordered in a specific size to fit a publication, it is very costly and usually only done for special high-end publications.

Creativity in designing mailing pieces should be approached with caution and only by someone with a current copy of U.S. Postal Service standards. Mailing pieces must conform to postal codes. Deviating from standard formats and sizes may double or triple your mailing costs. You are urged to contact the University Mail Room to make sure your pieces meet all regulations.

Business Cards

All business cards are printed on cream colored cover stock. Names on business cards are in 7-point Goudy Oldstyle, bold, all caps, centered above the person's title, which is in 6-point Goudy Oldstyle regular, all caps. The department name, address and telephone number are in 7-point Goudy Oldstyle regular, all caps, centering each line.

A maximum of 10 lines may be used on the card for lengthy titles, complex addresses or multiple telephone numbers, e-mail, and fax numbers. If a University employee is affiliated with any non-University business or interest, it may not be listed on their St. Mary's business cards.
