Size Guide

Posted by Softly Studio on

We use mostly  North American and some  European sizes for our handmade papers. We know it can be quite confusing to decide which size is right for your project so we have created this guide to help.

These sizes are listed from largest to smallest. Note: All sizes are slightly larger than standard paper sizes due to the deckled edges and no 2 sheets are 100% equal in size. For approximate measurements please refer to the table below.
