There is no right or wrong number of print sizes to offer. Selling just one print size or different sizes is also a good option. Whether you want to include the original size of the artwork or not is a noteworthy detail, too.

Important factors in picking size include shipping fees, printing costs, and possible file limitations, which can help determine what sizes you should offer for your art prints.

Common Print Sizes 

Popular sizes we print include 8×10, 11×14, and 16×20 (inches). These are standard US sizes that fit many available, ready-made frames. If you want to use these sizes, yet your artwork doesn't fit them, try adding borders or cropping to fit. 

Offering 2 to 4 print sizes, based on aspect ratio and framing, allows your customer to pick what best fits their space. These can range from mini to oversize, or could be a few options closer to the same range. 

Wide range sizes: 4x4, 6x6, 12x12, 20x20, and 30x30.

Medium range sizes: 6x8, 12x16, and 18x24.

Small range sizes: 4x6 and 6x9.

The Stackhouse frequently sells smaller sizes, such as 4x4, 4x6, and 5x7. Large formats, such as 18x24, 20x30, and 23x36, are also commonly available.

How to Match Aspect Ratios 

Measure your original artwork or check the digital file's height x width to determine its size. Once you have the art's size, use the chart below to compare our available print sizes to their respective aspect ratios.

Common, yet unique aspect ratios include: 7x10, 8.5x11, 11x14, 11x17, 13x19, and 14x18.

Protip: Sticking to the same aspect ratio for all prints will prevent you from cropping down the image.

Tips for Multi-Size Selling 

Stick to easy-to-ship formats like loose prints or mini prints for low hassle and overall fees. Find the cost of selling each size and determine your margins that work best for you.

Know your audience. Are too many options good or overwhelming for them? Setting the stage for easy shopping will allow your customers to find the right choice. Paired with our high-quality printing, you've got a combo they can't beat!

Don't forget, smaller prints can be more accessible to your viewers, so your quantity might be higher in sales, even if the price is slightly lower. Larger prints can be charged more, yet shipping and framing will increase in price.
