Custom Compliments Slips | With Compliments Slips Australia
A with compliments slip is a small printed card included with a posted order, gift, or parcel — a simple, professional way to acknowledge the recipient and reinforce your brand at the moment they open the package. In an era of digital communication, a printed compliments slip adds a tangible, personal touch that stands out.
Inteliprint prints custom compliments slips in DL size (one-third A4, 99 x 210mm) — the standard format that slots neatly into a DL envelope alongside a document or letter. Available in single or double-sided printing on premium uncoated stock, with fast turnaround and Australia-wide delivery.
What Are Compliments Slips Used For?
Posted orders and parcels — included in online order fulfilment, a compliments slip with a handwritten note adds a personal touch that customers notice and remember. Particularly effective for small businesses and boutique retailers where brand personality matters.
Client gifts and samples — accompanying a product sample, gift, or client present with a printed compliments slip is more considered and professional than a sticky note or plain card.
Business correspondence — enclosed with invoices, contracts, or documents posted to clients, a compliments slip provides a professional presentation layer and a clear point of contact.
Thank-you notes — sent to new clients, long-term customers, or event attendees as a follow-up, a compliments slip with a handwritten message is a low-cost, high-impact relationship-building tool.
Wholesale and trade orders — included with B2B shipments to reinforce the supplier relationship and provide order reference details in a professional, branded format.
What Does a With Compliments Slip Include?
A standard compliments slip typically includes your business logo, business name, contact details (phone, email, website), and the phrase "With compliments" or "With our compliments." A blank writing area — or lines — is usually left at the bottom for a handwritten personal note.
Design it to match your other business stationery — letterhead, business cards, and envelopes — for a consistent, professional brand presentation across every customer touchpoint.
Compliments Slips vs Letterhead — What's the Difference?
Size: Compliments slips are DL size (99 x 210mm, one-third of an A4 sheet). Letterheads are full A4 (210 x 297mm).
Purpose: Compliments slips accompany posted items — orders, gifts, documents — as a brief branded acknowledgement. Letterheads are used for formal written correspondence, quotes, and longer documents.
Writing space: A compliments slip leaves a small area for a brief handwritten note. A letterhead provides a full page for typed or written content.
Both are available from Inteliprint. If you need letterheads, see Letterheads.
