Printed products are available in a variety of sizes. From 3.5″ x 2″ business cards to 36″ x 120″ event banners, many have standard dimensions that provide good reference points for designers and customers. While some standard sizes for printed products have been officially recognized (such as 4.125 "x 9.5" for #10 envelopes), some sizes are considered standard simply because they receive a large number of orders (such as 2 "x 8" bookmarks). Popularity can gradually turn certain sizes into unofficial industry standards, or at least into good guidelines to follow when advising customers. So what are the standard print sizes

It can be difficult to keep track of all these sizes, or to extract them from different product pages. That's why we've created a collection of standard sizes for the most common print products. Please note that these standards are based on the current dimensions of North American print products.
