Stationary and Mailing


Department letterhead 


All university department and branch campus stationery must use the standard letterhead format. Up to three lines may be used under the university name with a maximum of four lines on the right side in the address and contact information (see example below). No footers are used on department stationery. 

Letterhead printed on office printers must be black and white due to the inconsistent color production of office printers. Letterhead printed through Printing and Design may be in color or black and white. 

Contact Printing and Design, uwsp.edu/printdesign, for electronic and printed letterhead.

Layout for address side of postcard (above) must meet minimum postal requirements to avoid additional charges or delay in delivery.

Business cards 


State law requires all printed material, including business cards, be ordered through the campus print manager (Printing and Design). 

Business cards for all units and departments, including branch campuses, must use one of the two standard formats. Student organizations do not use these formats. Partnership entities may use these formats as long as no modification is done to the layout. 

Information deamed necessary may be added to the back side of the business card with approval by UCM. Double-sided business cards with different departments are not allowed. Alternate language with the same information is allowed on the back side. The default website is uwsp.edu. Official department/unit websites may be used. URL to a department social media account may be included in place of the website. No personal websites or social media accounts are allowed.

It is recommended to have the university mission statement appear on the back of the business card. No other mission statements are allowed.
