The packing bench is stacked with orders and the last compliment slip went into yesterday's parcel. Order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri and your slips are printed the same day and delivered the next working day to any UK mainland address, so the next batch of parcels goes out with a branded note inside. Miss the cut-off and the page simply shows the following working day instead of leaving you guessing.
Slips print on uncoated paper from 100gsm through 120gsm, 160gsm, 200gsm and 250gsm up to 300gsm and 350gsm card, all of which take a biro or fountain pen without smudging. Choose DL, A6, A7 or a custom size, single or double sided, in runs from 10 to 200 or a custom quantity. Design one online in minutes or upload a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed.

How next-day compliment slips work
Order and approve by 2.30pm
Choose your options, upload your artwork or finish a design online, and pay by 2.30pm Mon–Fri. Choose next-day delivery at checkout, then approve your free proof by the same time, because we print once you approve.
Printed the same day
Your slips print in our London print room the same afternoon on the uncoated weight you chose, then are trimmed square and wrapped in packs ready for the packing bench.
Delivered the next working day
A tracked courier delivers the next working day anywhere on the UK mainland. Next-day delivery skips weekends and bank holidays, and the dates above already account for that. Saturday Delivery is offered at checkout, to UK mainland addresses, when your order can leave us on a Friday: order between 2.30pm on Thursday and 2.30pm on Friday, and approve your artwork by 2.30pm on Friday.

The next-day rule
Next-day delivery needs your order in, and your artwork approved, by 2.30pm Mon–Fri for delivery the next working day. Production is scheduled from your approval, not from the time you order, so orders placed or artwork approved after that, or at weekends and bank holidays, are dispatched on the next working day and arrive the working day after. Every order gets a free print preview within the hour; changes to the artwork itself are a priced service per file, back within the hour too.
Missed the 2.30pm cutoff? In London, choose the Priority courier at checkout: printed first thing on the next working day and delivered by tracked courier that day (tomorrow when you order Monday to Thursday), priced like same-day.
What counts
- Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding England and Wales bank holidays; the print room is in London.
- Next-day delivery covers the UK mainland; Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland rates and timings are shown at checkout.
- Order and approve your artwork by the cut-off, whether it is a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed or a finished online design: we book production from your approval, not your payment.
- Not in a hurry? Standard delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £50 and takes 3-5 working days.
Next-day compliment slips FAQs
What paper weight works best for compliment slips?
It depends on how you use them. 100gsm and 120gsm uncoated feel like a letterhead and suit slips that travel inside an envelope with an invoice. 160gsm and 200gsm are noticeably firmer and sit well in a parcel. 250gsm, 300gsm and 350gsm are card weights, closer to a postcard, for a slip that is meant to be kept. All of them are uncoated, so handwriting dries cleanly.
Which sizes are available for next-day compliment slips?
DL is the classic slip, one third of an A4 sheet and a natural fit for a DL envelope. A6 gives a squarer note with room for a longer message, A7 is a compact tag-sized slip for small parcels, and a custom size lets you match an existing box or envelope. Every size follows the same 2.30pm Mon–Fri cut-off for next-working-day delivery.
Can I set up a compliment slip without artwork?
Yes. The online designer has slip templates where you drop in your logo, address and contact line and leave the middle clear for handwriting. Approve the design before 2.30pm Mon–Fri and it goes straight to press. If you already have a letterhead file, an uploaded PDF with 3 mm bleed at DL, A6 or A7 keeps the two pieces matching.
Is there a minimum order for next-day slips?
The smallest tier is 10 slips, and the tiers run through 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200, with a custom quantity above that. A small run costs little and is a sensible way to see the paper in hand before you commit to a larger reorder; the next-day timing is the same whichever quantity you choose.
The packing run is due out and I've missed the slip cut-off. What happens now?
Nationally, the slips print on the next working day and arrive the day after that, and the dates on this page move forward the moment 2.30pm passes, so you can see the new date before you check out. If you're in London, the Priority courier is offered instead: your slips go to the front of the next working day's production and a courier brings them that same day, priced like the same-day courier, which suits a parcel run that can't wait for the ordinary next-working-day route.
Can I use artwork I made with ChatGPT, Canva or another AI tool?
Yes. Every file is checked before it prints, whatever made it. AI images are often made at screen size, so on a larger print they can come out soft: if yours would, we show you which image and you choose to print it as it is, upload a sharper file, or send us the high-resolution images and our studio updates the artwork for you. You can run the same check before you order with our free file check.
What does next-day delivery cost for compliment slips?
Next-day delivery is from £9.95 +VAT to UK mainland addresses. The exact charge for your address is shown at checkout, and the product price is the same as any other day.
