Paper sizes in the USA and Canada

Not all papers are available in all sizes. Paper size is dependent upon the paper mill’s sheeting capabilities. Paper can typically be ordered in three ways: Cut Sheet, Folio Sheet, and Web Rolls.

•Cut Sheet United States – This paper is typically used on small presses, laser printers and duplicators. Basis weight for cut sheets is determined by the weight per unit area of a ream of 500 sheets of paper.

•Folio Sheet United States – These are used for sheet-fed offset presses. Images are laid out in printer spreads from which they can be later cut and folded into postcards, booklets, brochures or other odd-sized documents. Folio sheets can also be used to print custom-sized posters, envelopes, boxes, and folders.
