Paper stock
The paper stock for the entire university stationery system—letterhead, envelopes, etc.—is Strathmore Script, bright white, sub. 24, smooth. For business cards and self-adhesive labels, appropriate stock to match the Strathmore bright white should be selected. No other shade, color, or style of paper should be used for any university stationery.
Letterhead
The letterhead design reflects the innovative feel of the UMBC logo: the mark is set in the upper right corner, with the departmental information formatted in the following manner:
College/Department/Office Name (Bold and All Caps)
University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Room Number Building Name
1000 Hilltop Circle, Baltimore, MD 21250 (please note: Street/City/State/Zip are now on one line)
(line break)

Margin and type settings for letterhead
The UMBC letterhead has been designed to allow a flexible setting of body type. There are a few simple guidelines that should be followed to complement the design of the letterhead.
For best results, the letter text should be set flush-left, ragged-right, in 10 or 11-point Avenir Next or Times New Roman.
Left and right margins should be set at 0.75”. The dateline should align horizontally with the last line of the department information on the right, or 1.9375” from the top.
The bottom margin can vary according to the length of the letter, leaving at least a 0.5” margin. The date, address block, and signature block should all be set flush-left and not centered.
Questions about purchasing stationery items should be directed to the Brand and Creative Strategy department at 410-455-2957.
