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.

I cannot thank Swatti and the team at Worldwide Surry Hills enough. They were absolute lifesavers!

Two days before my daughter’s HSC major work was due, we were in a state of despair. We had already had her fashion look book produced by another supplier, but it arrived in softcover with pages that completely compromised her carefully designed double-page photographic spreads. It was devastating after all the time and work she had put into it.

I contacted Worldwide Surry Hills and explained our situation, and Swatti was absolutely amazing. She took on the challenge late afternoon, worked her magic to get the artwork printed the next day for me to collect and take straight to their book binding supplier.

The result was a beautiful hardcover, lay-flat book, produced on the same day. I honestly still cannot believe they were able to pull this off under such enormous time pressure.

My daughter was absolutely ecstatic when she saw the finished book. It truly saved her major work and gave her the finished product she had envisioned.

Swatti was incredibly helpful, calm and genuinely cared about getting this right for us. The whole team, the printers including their book-binding supplier, truly went above and beyond what I could have ever expected at such incredibly short notice

If you need printing or book binding I cannot recommend Worldwide Surry Hills highly enough. Exceptional service, incredible workmanship and most importantly people who genuinely care about their customers.

Thank you Swatti and the entire team. You have no idea how much we appreciated what you did for us! ❤️

Exceptional service from the team at Worldwide Norwood. They printed workbooks and turned around a last-minute awards job for us, both delivered to a high standard and on time. I coordinate our events remotely from interstate, so having a printer I can rely on without any stress or fuss makes a real difference. They'll be my go-to whenever I need work done in Adelaide. Thank you!

Arche Health has been using Worldwide for all its printed stationery requirements for many years. We find them extremely professional, proactive and efficient.
Wayne Bertram
I wanted new business cards and I found the type I wanted on Worldwide's website (Double sided with double sided lamination and rounded corners). I downloaded the template, added my artwork, sent it back and received a quote. I then received a proof and made a small change. Once approved, I just waited until notification they were ready.

I picked them up and they were spot on.
Bottom line. It couldn't have been easier and the results are excellent and just what I wanted.

I should say I have used Worldwide Norwood sevetal times previously and their quality is always excellent. Highly recommended.
