Business Cards & Letterhead


Facilities Management now has a new business card format that the Chief Facilities Officer has approved and directed to be the 'master template' for all Facilities Management business cards.  All new cards, as of February 15, 2002 MUST use the new template design shown on this web page. These new cards are to be purchased only AFTER all existing stock has been depleted. In January 2003 we updated all templates to reflect use of the PO Box as well as physical addresses.

We have also developed new Facilities Management Letterhead and Memo formats for use with Microsoft Word which are intended to be printed on local printers thus eliminating the cost of purchasing pre-printed letterhead. The Chief Facilities Officer has also approved these formats and is encouraging their use by Facilities Management Departments, Divisions and Offices.

To further facilitate the use of these new designs, templates for each of these categories (Business Cards, Letterhead and Memo format) are being made available directly from this web page. We also discuss the difference between letterhead and memo formats, the goal of limiting pre-printed envelope styles, and we are recommending a specific brand of paper to print letterhead on. Click on a category below to go to the area where more information for each is provided. Questions or suggestions should be directed to Kenn McDermott at 2-4609 or kenn@virginia.edu.

Facilities Management Business Cards:
This design shown below is on file at University of Virginia Printing and Copying Services (http://www.virginia.edu/uvaprint/) and they have been instructed to ONLY fill orders for Facilities Management business cards using this template. Orders may be placed on-line at this address: http://www.virginia.edu/uvaprint/print_stat_facman.html

Note: All personal information such as name, title, position, address, phone & fax numbers, e-mail address, web page address, etc. can be specified by each requester provided they fit within this template.


(These are printed using the color 'Cool Gray 11' on white stock with an 80% screen
on both the Rotunda and the "University of Virginia", and a solid 100% on all other text,
with the name in bold)

Each Facilities Management department has at least one support person who will assist in processing orders for these new cards. Because the ink used is non-standard (Cool Gray 11) these cards are more expensive UNLESS multiple names are printed at the same time. Printing & Copying Services prints business cards eight-up (eight cards per sheet) and multiple names must be grouped per sheet in order to achieve parity with standard card costs. Printing & Copying Services will assist in this regard, but it is the responsibility of the requesting FM department or office to group cards, proof them and provide the proper funding. It is recommended that a minimum of six cards be requested per order of 250 cards for each name. Larger orders of 500 cards per name can be double printed (i.e. the same name on two cards) to decrease this cost still further. Managers and supervisors are encouraged to make sure business cards are in fact needed for the person/position requesting them and that an appropriate quantity are ordered (250 or 500). If getting the cards quickly is important, work center managers must determine whether or not the faster processing is worth the extra cost or if they can wait while a few more names are put together on the same order. Also, new cards should NOT be purchased until AFTER all existing stock has been depleted.

The following fixed price sliding scale has been provided by Printing & Copying Services. Departments and offices should make every effort to plan ahead and group at least 4 or more and preferably 6 or more names per order to reduce printing costs as much as possible. However, if there is an urgent need for cards and the requesting work center feels the expense is warranted, single orders can be submitted. Here are the costs:

Number of Names 250 Card Orders 500 Card Orders
1 name $120 $125
2 or 3 names $60 per name $65 per name
4 or 5 names $40 per name $45 per name
6 or more names $30 per name $35 per name

Within FP&C Betty Bowman and Maria Ragland will coordinate new card orders. Other departments should contact their normal support staff personnel. Questions should be directed to Kenn McDermott at 2-4609 or kenn@virginia.edu.

Facilities Management Letterhead
Letterhead is generally the preferred format to use when writing formal correspondence outside of the University and oftentimes within the University but outside of Facilities Management. (A business letter is a formal, well-organized piece of writing and is serious in tone). This new letterhead has been designed for each major department and office within Facilities Management. The CFO has approved these designs and is encouraging their use. This letterhead matches the business card design and eliminates the need for pre-printed letterhead. Existing pre-printed letterhead should be used until all stocks have been depleted, after which the new format will be printed on local printers thus eliminating the cost of purchasing pre-printed letterhead. Click on this Letterhead Paper link to read about the paper to use. Read the instructions and then select one of the Letterhead links below.

For ALL Windows versions - 9x (95, 98, 98SE) and Windows 2000/XP:
Right-Click on the link for the letterhead you want, select 'Save Target As...', navigate to a drive and folder of your choice, provide a file name (or leave the suggested name) and then click 'Save' and then 'Open'.

The above action will create a new document in Microsoft Word based on the template you chose, which you can then type, save and print normally. The top portion of the letterhead (Rotunda, University of Virginia, horizontal lines, address, phone numbers, etc.) have been embedded within a separate JPG image and then placed in the header. The text below the bottom line can be edited, but the image itself cannot. If you don't see a template suitable for use in your area, please contact Kenn McDermott. You also may wish to create a Word macro for this and place it on your toolbar as a button. If you need assistance doing this, please contact Kenn McDermott.

Facilities Management Memo Format
Memo's are generally the preferred format for informal correspondence within Facilities Management and sometimes within the University, but seldom ever outside of the University. (Memo's solve problems, provide information, persuade, announce changes, etc. and are most effective when they connect the purpose of the writer with the interests and needs of the reader). A Memo format has been designed for each major department and office within Facilities Management. The CFO has approved this design and is encouraging its use. The elements of the memo format consist of a special, round Facilities Management logo designed by Nicholas Bartley (of our own Real Estate & Space Management Division), with all elements placed in a Word header. The paper used for memos can be standard copy paper and using recycled paper products is encouraged. Read the instructions and then select one of the Memo links below.

For ALL Windows versions - 9x (95, 98, 98SE) and Windows 2000/XP:
Right-Click on the link for the letterhead you want, select 'Save Target As...', navigate to a drive and folder of your choice, provide a file name (or leave the suggested name) and then click 'Save' and then 'Open'.

The above action will create a new document in Microsoft Word based on the template you chose, which you can then type, save and print normally. The header information can be modified as necessary by each user. If you don't see a template listed suitable for use in your area, please contact Kenn McDermott. You also may wish to create a Word macro for this and place it on your toolbar as a button. If you need assistance doing this, please contact Kenn McDermott.

These letterhead and memo templates are intended to provide a 'starting point' from which personnel can work. There is no reason why small modifications can't be made - such as adding a date field, modifying contact information in the footer of the Memo format, adding a 'From' line in the memo format, etc. Such minor customizations, if needed, should be made to the document retrieved from this page and saved to the users preferred location. If you would like to have a customized template placed on this web page, or if you have questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact Kenn McDermott.

Facilities Management Printed Envelopes
The printed return address on envelopes we have used in the past and ordered from Printing and Copying Services, will continue to remain the standard. This return style is generic for Facilities Management and does not include a logo or department/division names. With few exceptions these envelopes should be suitable for use by all offices and ordering a variety of different styles for each department or office is discouraged. For example - here is the scanned image of a standard envelope with a generic return address:

Facilities Management Letterhead Paper
Facilities Management personnel are encouraged to use the 'Official University of Virginia Letterhead Paper'. This paper is "Neenah Classic Crest - Avon Brilliant White" and it comes in both 20 pound and 24 pound weights. The 24# weight is recommended. The cost is about $16 per ream for the 24# paper (as of July, 2002) and can be purchased directly from the University Printing and Copying Services main facility on Old Ivy Road (924-7186). PLEASE NOTE: Memos, unlike letterhead, can be printed on any standard paper including recycled paper products and their use is encouraged.
