For your creative convenience, LCI offers card stock paper in a variety of standard sizes. From small to large and every dimension between, we have a paper size for your project.
Paper mills supply paper in very large sheets - parent sheets - that measure roughly 26 x 40 inches. With the exception of commercial printers, not many people have the equipment to handle such large sheets, so we cut them down to more usable sizes. The result is a collection of perfectly cut, perfectly sized card stock. Learn more about our popular pre-cut sizes below.
8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock Paper - Letter
Referred to as letter size, it's the paper size in your printers, your photocopiers, your fax machines - you know it when you see it. It's the most commonly used paper size for office and personal use. It's easy to handle & convenient to cut.
Why It's Great
- You're comfortable with it. You've been using it since preschool.
- Most printers default to it, which means no custom page set up.
- It's a perfect size - large enough to create multiple cards with, small enough to fit in most printers.
- It's really easy to make 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (A9) cards with - just cut it or fold it in half, and your work is done!
8 1/2 x 14 Cardstock Paper - Legal
Add an extra three inches to that 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, and you have 8 1/2 x 14, or legal sized card stock.
Why It's Great
- Your printer won't default to it, but it'll certainly recognize it as a standard size.
- Designing with bleeds? Making a fancy award certificate? That extra length may come in handy.
- It's large enough for multiple cards without being too large for a home printer.
11x17 (Tabloid) & 12x18 (Digital) Card Stock Paper
Double the standard 8 1/2 x 11 and you get 11 x 17 tabloid sized card stock - a large, but useful size for all kinds of commercial & digital printing to crafting projects. We offer 12 x 18 as well should you need a little more space.
Why It's Great
- Great press sized sheet - most home printers can't print on it, but professional printers certainly can, and many would prefer to
- Folded in half it makes a great menu, or portfolio cover
- Creating a design that bleeds? No sweat! Print on these oversized sheets, then cut!
12 x 12 Cardstock Paper - Square
That's right scrapbookers, this one's for you. This size is commonly used for scrapbook pages, but it has some other great uses too.
Why Square is Great!
- Perfect fit for scrapbooks (but we already said that)
- Get multiple square cards to a sheet with little waste (unlike 8 1/2 x 11)
- Fits in all 12 x 12 standard paper cutters (another reference for the crafty folks)
