Letterheads
Bayer stationery displays only the Bayer Cross as the sender. Official company information is placed in the right-hand margin and arranged in a predefined order. The information in the right-hand margin needs to be personalized according to your legal entity. When in doubt, take a look at your e-mail footer for the required information for the marginal column.
Business correspondence
A print PDF, an InDesign document and the Word template (with the Bayer Cross for blank paper) are available for all letterhead versions shown here. A PDF containing letterhead dimensions, spacing, typeface, etc. is also available to facilitate customization in countries that use neither DIN or U.S. formats.
All business correspondence should be printed on normal blank paper using the Word template that includes the 4c Bayer Cross.
Arial Regular is the typeface required for the text of every Word letterhead. Further details and instructions on the use of Word files can be found in MS Office Word Template Solutions.

Legacy Monsanto employees please refer to the guidelines below on printing Bayer corporate letterheads.
Following the decision taken on the future Crop Science brand architecture using Bayer as the endorser brand, all current product-branded letterheads must be replaced by corporate-branded letterheads. The Bayer Cross serves as the corporate brand for all stationery materials. The only exception to this rule remains the local seed brands (i.e. 10 U.S. regional brands, Channel, CB, Agroeste, Sementes Agroceres, and La Tijereta) and Climate Corporation, for which branding decisions will be taken once the future business strategy has been approved.
Global and U.S. colleagues can download the templates below to print letterheads locally. Or you can order from the FedEx office ordering site (shipping charges will apply).
Please first check the Excel table to find out your Country-specific Company Descriptor.
If your current letterhead includes your specific legal entity, please continue to use this legal entity below the Country-specific Company Descriptor until the legal entity consolidation process has been completed. Please refer to the Excel table to look up existing Monsanto legal entities.
