An add-on to a job you already have
The customer’s letterhead PDF is already on your press. Converting it to Word is a few minutes more work and a separate line on the invoice — pure margin on a job in hand.
For Print shops
Letterhead to Word for print shops
You already print the letterhead. Convert the same PDF into an editable Microsoft Word .docx and offer it to the customer as a finished deliverable — an easy add-on to a job you’re already doing.
Why print shops use Letterhead Lab
The Word file matches the printed sheet
Because the conversion places your print artwork as an image in Word’s header and footer, the digital letterhead and the printed one carry the identical design.
No design rebuild, no proofing round
You are not recreating the letterhead in Word. The converter crops your existing PDF, so there is nothing new to typeset and nothing new to proof.
A branded converter for your customers
The Shop plan gives you letterheadlab.com/c/your-shop — customers convert under your shop’s name, turning conversion into a self-serve service line.
Handles the variants a real job has
Multiple letterheads, A4 and US Letter, second sheets — the Multi-page bundle covers the way a print order actually arrives.
Templates customers will not wreck
Deliver a .dotx and the customer opens a clean copy each time, so the master you converted stays correct.
What print shops use it for
- Upselling a digital version of a print job. Every letterhead you print is a customer who may also want it in Word — converted from the file you already have.
- Answering the 'can I type on this?' request. Customers who get printed letterhead often ask for an editable version; now you can hand them one.
- Converting at the same time as the print run. The PDF is approved and on press — convert it in the same sitting and deliver both.
- Offering conversion as a standing service. With a branded link, customers convert their own letterheads under your shop's name.
- Serving repeat and account customers. Shops with regular accounts convert each customer's letterhead as part of the order.
Why print shops add this
A print shop that produces letterhead is already holding the one thing the conversion needs: the print-ready PDF. The customer approved it, it ran on press, and it is sitting in the job folder.
Turning it into an editable Word file is a few minutes of additional work — and a separate, profitable line on an invoice the customer is already paying.
It also answers a request shops hear constantly. A customer picks up a box of printed letterhead and asks whether they can also type on it — for the letters that get emailed rather than mailed. Without a tool, the answer is no, or a referral elsewhere. With Letterhead Lab, the answer is a finished .docx that matches the sheet they just bought.
For shops that want this as a standing service, the Shop plan provides a branded converter at letterheadlab.com/c/your-shop and a higher monthly quota. Account customers convert their own letterheads under the shop’s name — the conversion becomes a service line, not a favor.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need the customer's design files?
- No — just the print-ready PDF you already have. The converter crops it into Word's header and footer; there is no design work and nothing to typeset.
- What does the Shop plan add?
- A branded converter at letterheadlab.com/c/your-shop, a dashboard, and a higher monthly conversion quota for shops serving many customers. It is $199 per month.
- Can I charge the customer for the conversion?
- Yes. Most shops add it as a line item on the print invoice. The work is minutes; the Word file is a deliverable the customer values.
- Will the Word version match what we printed?
- Yes. The conversion uses your print PDF as the source, placing the artwork as an image — so the digital letterhead is the same design as the printed sheet.
- Can customers convert their own letterheads?
- With the Shop plan, yes. The branded link lets account customers run conversions under your shop's name, with usage tracked on your dashboard.
