Print products come in a variety of sizes. From 3.5\u201d x 2\u201d business cards to 36\u201d x 120\u201d event banners, many of them have standard dimensions that provide\u00a0 good reference points for printers, designers, and clients.\u00a0<\/span>While some standard sizes for print products have been formally acknowledged (like 4.125\u2033 x 9.5\u2033 for #10 envelopes), some sizes are considered standard simply because they get a large amount of orders (like 2\u201d x 8\u201d bookmarks). Popularity can gradually turn certain sizes into unofficial standards for the industry, or at least into good guidelines to follow when advising clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be a hassle to keep track of all these sizes or pull them from different product pages. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve created a collection of standard sizes for print products that are the most common. Please note that these standards are based on common North American print products dimensions.<\/span><\/p>\n
