Non-Standard Paper Sizes

While standard sizes like A4 and A3 are well-known and widely used, there are also several non-standard sizes that can bring a unique touch to your personal and professional projects. These non-standard print sizes are perfect for creating standout marketing materials or unique prints that require a personal touch. Some popular non-standard sizes and formats include:

  • Square (e.g. 210mm x 210mm)
  • Custom sizes (e.g. 125mm x 325mm)
  • Die-cut shapes (e.g. heart, star, or other shapes)
  • Folded formats (e.g. gatefold, tri-fold, or Z-fold)

 

As part of our custom printing services, we can accommodate almost any paper size and shape to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a flashy design to make an impression with your business cards or need a uniquely sized brochure to better convey your message, our friendly and expert team is here to make it happen.

Choosing the right paper and size

How does paper type influence paper size selection?

The type of paper can impact the choice of paper size because different materials may lend themselves better to certain dimensions or uses. For example, thicker or more textured papers might be more suitable for smaller, more luxurious prints, whereas lighter, smoother papers will be better for larger formats.

What should be considered when choosing a paper size?

When selecting a paper size, it’s important to think about the final design of the project. Considerations should include how the size will accommodate the content and graphics, and how it will influence the project’s readability and aesthetic appeal. How big you need to go will depend on factors like from what distance does it need to be readable.

Why is selecting the right paper size important?

Choosing the appropriate paper size can significantly affect the final outcome and visual impact of any printing project. It helps to ensure that the design is presented as intended and fits well within the chosen dimensions.

Great experience! We had a client who urgently needed a printed order delivered to them within 2 days. We are in Perth and couldn't get it to them in time. We googled them, made a call and within a couple of hours the order was proofed, paid for and delivered to the client on time. Thank you for helping us out with this urgent order team.
