Most invoices try not to be noticed. This one does the opposite: the paper itself is pink, the type is electric blue, and the table header is a solid blue band. It is the invoice for a brand that has a personality and would rather its paperwork carried it too.

It is not only decoration. Directly under the masthead there is a thank-you note and a short message, which is where you tell the customer what to do next, sitting opposite the billing details and the due date. Those are the two things a customer needs, and they are above the fold.

What this invoice includes

A full-bleed coloured sheet with the invoice number and date above a heavy INVOICE title
Your company name and logo at the top right
A thank-you heading and message for payment instructions or a personal note
Billed to and Due date blocks
A bordered grid with No, Items, Price, Qty and Total columns and seven rows of space
Subtotal, tax and total rows closing the grid
Your address, phone and website at the foot, with a signature line opposite

Who this invoice is for

Direct-to-consumer brands, online shops, resellers, creative studios and anyone selling to people rather than procurement departments. It also suits a business that already has a strong colour identity and wants its invoice to match the rest of its material.

Note: This template is provided for convenience and general information only and is not legal, tax or accounting advice. What an invoice must show, which tax applies and how long you must keep records depend on where you and your customer are based. Check your local rules, or ask your accountant, if you are unsure.
