Our digital downloads are designed using A4 paper size, which is the standard in the UK and many other countries.
-
A4 size = 210mm × 297mm (approx. 8.27 × 11.69 inches)
-
US Letter size = 8.5 × 11 inches (slightly wider and shorter than A4)
What this means for printing in the US:
You can still print on US Letter paper — just make sure to select “Fit to page” or “Scale to fit” in your printer settings to avoid anything being cut off.
Alternatively, you can select “Actual size” if your printer margins allow it.
We usually recommend Kraft 300gsm paper - it holds colour beautifully and feels sturdy in little hands.
