A compliment slip might be small, but it’s one of the most powerful tools for reinforcing your brand identity. Whether you’re thanking a customer, including a message with a delivery, or simply adding a human touch to your service, the right design makes all the difference.
At DiscoverPrint, we print thousands of compliment slips every month for businesses across the UK. In this guide, we’ll show you how to design compliment slips that don’t just look professional—but speak your brand’s voice clearly and confidently.
🧾 What Is a Compliment Slip?
🖼️ Image Prompt: A DL-sized compliment slip on a desk next to packaging and a branded pen.
A compliment slip is a DL-sized (210mm x 99mm) printed slip, typically carrying your logo, business details, and the phrase “With Compliments.” It often includes space for a handwritten note and is inserted into parcels, letters, or presentations.

🎨 Step-by-Step Guide to Designing Your Brand-Aligned Compliment Slip
✅ 1. Add Your Logo in a Clear Position
Your logo is your most recognisable branding element. Place it at the top left or centre, ensuring it’s clean, high-resolution, and consistent with your brand guidelines.
Avoid stretching or pixelating your logo—use a vector file (SVG or high-res PNG).
✅ 2. Use Brand Colours Strategically
Choose 1–2 colours from your brand palette and use them for the header, footer, borders, or typography. Keep the background white or light for a clean, readable layout.
Too much colour can overpower the message. Aim for a balanced, elegant look.
✅ 3. Choose Brand-Friendly Fonts
Your choice of typeface matters. Stick with fonts used in your other branding materials (website, brochures, etc.). Keep the text professional, readable, and aligned with your tone of voice.
Popular brand fonts: Helvetica, Lato, Open Sans, Georgia.
✅ 4. Include Key Business Information
At minimum, include:
-
Your business name
-
Website URL
-
Email address
-
Phone number
-
Social media handles (if relevant)
Place these neatly at the bottom or side in a smaller font.
✅ 5. Leave Space for a Personal Touch
Compliment slips are meant to feel personal. Leave blank space where you or your team can write a short thank-you message, making your delivery feel more human and thoughtful.
Printed “With Compliments” text is classic but can be modernised based on tone.
