Stationery Update
Good news: You can order UConn stationery again!
Slightly less good news: There are multiple steps, but they’re temporary.
This is for UConn Storrs and regional campuses. UConn Health stationery remains unchanged.
University Communications and the Document Production Center have partnered on a solution for UConn stationery. Eventually, the DPC on the Storrs campus will handle all stationery requests. In the meantime, University Communications will be your DPC liaison.
The process for now:
- Request stationery from University Communications.
- Receive templates to personalize.
- Share the personalized file for approval. Once approved,
- Order the stationery through DPC.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
If your stationery print order is to exceed 8,000 copies please notify us in the form with your request.
As one of the most common and visible forms of branding, stationery says who we are internally and externally. Therefore, all stationery items must be of consistent design and print quality.
A variety of official templates, both print and electronic, are available for UConn academics from Document Production Center and UConn Health in HuskyBuy, which provide a flexible stationery system for the University and UConn Health communities. No other means of producing stationery is allowed.
Guidelines for Stationery Templates
- Adhere to correct fields.
- Avoid abbreviations.
- Avoid hyphens.
- Avoid including “https://” in your web address.
- Avoid including “www” in your web address, unless necessary for the site to work.
- Evenly distribute words between lines (i.e., don’t leave a word alone on a line).
- Be sure to use official department/office names and titles.
- Be consistent. For instance, if you are using ampersands or hyphens, use them throughout.
- Put pronouns in the first title field and keep in lowercase, no parenthesis (e.g., she/her/hers, they/them/theirs).

Student Business Cards
Student business cards are available through the Document Production Center. The redesigned student business cards are more in line with university standards on business cards for faculty and staff, thus providing a higher quality outcome for those students that desire university business cards.
Name Badges
To ensure a consistent and professionally branded look, the University has developed name badge templates and standards for employee name badges.
- Depending on the size of the name tag, different brand elements may be used including different variations of the primary wordmark, as well as second and third tier wordmarks, and the Oak Leaf.
- Name badges should be ordered in one of the following finishes:
- Brushed metal gold with navy or black imprint
- Brushed metal silver with navy or black imprint
- Plastic navy blue with white imprint
- Plastic white with navy imprint
Please reach out to anna.milot@uconn.edu if you would like help with designing a layout for your name badges. Use one of the licensed and approved vendors to order name badges.
