The printed heading at the top of a bill or invoice, typically containing a business's name, address, and identifying information.
Compound from 'bill' (an invoice or statement of charges) and 'head' (the top portion). The term emerged in the 19th century as printed invoices became standard business practice.
Before digital invoices, billheads were tiny works of art—companies hired designers to create fancy printed headers with ornamental borders and logos, making their bills instantly recognizable!
