What are the
standard page sizes?
Scrapbook pages are created in many different sizes, but there are some industry standards. You’ll find a wide range of materials in the dimensions listed below. To illustrate how much you can fit on each page, we arranged 4x6” photo mats on the different-size sheets. Click HERE to view the various page sizes.
12x12” is the largest size available and gives you more room to display photos and memorabilia, add embellishments, and be creative. Card stock, patterned papers, and specialty papers are widely available in this size. This is the preferred dimension for manufacturers.
81/2 x11” pages will allow ease in computer-printing titles, journaling, and other text or clip-art images onto your pages. Card stock and specialty papers (such as vellum) are commonly available in this size, and you can cut larger sheets of paper to this size.
8x8” and 6x6” are the smallest page sizes you’ll find. The 8x8” size is perfect for gift or single-theme albums. For including a single photo with a tiny bit of journaling, choose 6x6” pages.
