This Thursday!

11/11/2020

Today is Veterans Day, we justly honor those who have served our nation and laid down their lives to protect and defend our freedom.
We celebrate, too, future veterans who currently serve the men and women of the United States of America.

We will continue to stand by those who have fought, whose spirits and bodies are scarred by war, whose nights are troubled by memories too painful for the light of day.

We will continue to pray for those who serve us now, especially for those in harm's way. Heavenly father please shield them from danger and bring them home safely to be reunited in Thanksgiving with their loved ones.

STANDARD OR CUSTOM SIZE???
That is the question.
Print products come in a variety of sizes. Many print products have standard dimensions that provide good reference points for printers, designers, and clients. While some standard sizes for print products have been formally acknowledged (like 4.125″ x 9.5″ for #10 envelopes), some sizes are considered standard simply because they get a large amount of orders (like 2” x 8” bookmarks). Popularity can gradually turn certain sizes into unofficial standards for the industry, or at least into good guidelines to follow when advising clients.

It can be a hassle to keep track of all these sizes or pull them from different product pages. here is a collection of standard sizes for print products that are the most common. This is just a collection and not an end all list. Just because a size is not on this list does not make it a custom... let us know what your project entails and we will take care of your print needs be it standard size or custom size.
