What compliment slips are used for
A compliment slip is a small branded sheet used for short messages that sit alongside your product or document. It is useful when you want to say thank you, confirm an order, add contact details, or include a short note without using a full letterhead. Many businesses in Randfontein, Krugersdorp, Westonaria and Roodepoort use them for parcel inserts, sample packs, counter collections and customer follow ups.
They are especially handy when your team needs something quick and neat to tuck into a box or envelope. A good slip keeps your message professional, even when the order is small. It also helps the customer remember who handled the job and makes reordering easier later on.
- Parcel inserts for stock and deliveries
- Sample packs and product launches
- Invoice packs and statements
- Workshop handovers and collection bags
- Thank you notes for repeat customers
Sizes, paper choices and print finishes
Compliment slips are usually printed in a standard compact size that fits neatly into most envelopes and parcel packs. The most common format is 210 mm x 99 mm, which gives enough room for a logo, message and contact details without feeling crowded. If your layout needs more writing space, we can also arrange a custom size to match your other stationery.
For everyday business use, 80 gsm or 90 gsm bond paper works well. It is light enough to include in packs, yet still has a proper feel in the hand. If you want something a bit firmer, a thicker stock can be used for a more premium look. Full colour print is available for logos, blocks of colour and small design elements, while single colour print is often a cost-effective choice for large runs.
- Standard size: 210 mm x 99 mm
- Custom sizes available on request
- Paper options from 80 gsm to heavier stock
- Full colour or single colour printing
- Can be printed one sided only
Where compliment slips work best
These slips suit businesses that send out products, samples or paperwork on a regular basis. They are common in retail, light manufacturing, repair services, offices, beauty and wellness brands, food packaging and local distribution. If your team needs to add a short handwritten note or a printed message inside a parcel, a compliment slip is practical and tidy.
They also work well for companies operating across the West Rand where customers value quick service and clear communication. When deliveries go to Mogale City, Greenhills, Toekomsrus or Mohlakeng, a branded slip helps the parcel feel complete and traceable. It is a small detail, but it makes your business look organised and attentive.
- Product shipments and sample deliveries
- Service businesses with collection and drop off work
- Small offices that send printed documents
- Local shops and distributors with repeat clients
Artwork that keeps your message clear
The best compliment slips are simple to read at a glance. Your business name should be easy to spot, followed by one short line of contact detail or a brief message. If you want space for a handwritten note, the layout should leave a clean open area. We can assist with layout changes, logo refreshes, artwork redraws and proofing updates so your slip fits the way you use it.
For best results, send us your logo in a clear format and make sure your details are current. If you are adding a VAT number, delivery instructions or branch information, check that the wording is correct before print. A small typo on a compliment slip can travel with every parcel, so it is worth getting the proof right first time.
- Use a clear logo and simple wording
- Leave space for a handwritten note if needed
- Check spelling, numbers and branch details
- Match colours to your other stationery where possible

What to check before you place your order
Before you order compliment slips, it helps to confirm a few practical details. Start with the size, because that affects how much writing space you have and how the slip fits into your packaging. Then check your quantity. Smaller businesses often order a few hundred at a time, while busy teams may want a larger batch to reduce reordering.
Also check the following points carefully:
- Your business name and spelling
- The phone number, address or contact details you want shown
- Whether you need a logo, brand colours or a plain layout
- If the slip must leave space for handwriting
- Whether the order is for one branch or multiple branches
- If you need proofing before printing
Good stationery should make life easier for your staff, not slower. If your team is using the slips for parcels, samples or customer notes every day, a clean repeatable layout is the safest choice. It saves time and keeps your messaging consistent.
