Blueprint Printing Paper Sizes

What is the standard blueprint paper size? Blueprints and house plans will come in several standard sizes. Two of the most common architectural drawing sizes are 18” x 24” and 24” x 36”, but the Business Box also prints construction plans of 36” x “48” sizes. Large sizes are necessary on bigger and more detailed projects. Regardless of the blueprint paper size being used, its purpose is to show a trained person how to build that particular projects. North American architects typically use the ARCH sizes for their large format drawings. There are two main paper size standards in use around the world: the international (ISO) A series and the North American ANSI sizes. For reference purposes, all common sheet sizes for technical drawings are listed below. North American ARCH Series Paper Size SIZE INCHES MILLIMETERS ARCH A 9 x 12 229 × 305 ARCH B 12 x 18 305 × 457 ARCH C 18 x 24 457 × 610 ARCH D 24 x 36 610 × 914 ARCH E 36 x 48 914 × 1219 ARCH E1 30 x 42 762 × 1067 North American Loose Paper Sizes SIZE INCHES MILLIMETERS Letter 8.5 × 11 216 × 279 Legal 8.5 × 14 216 × 356 Tabloid 11 × 17 279 × 432 Ledger 17 × 11 432 × 279 North American ANSI Series Paper Sizes SIZE INCHES MILLIMETERS ANSI A 8.5 × 11 216 × 279 ANSI B 11 × 17 279 × 432 ANSI C 17 × 22 432 × 559 ANSI D 22 × 34 559 × 864 ANSI E 34 × 44 864 × 1118 International ISO 216 A-Series Paper Sizes SIZE INCHES MILLIMETERS A0 33.1 × 46.8 841 × 1189 A1 23.4 × 33.1 594 × 841 A2 16.5 × 23.4 420 × 594 A3 11.7 × 16.5 297 × 420 A4 8.3 × 11.7 210 × 297 For ANSI drawings, or A-Paper sized drawings, the Business Box will print on slightly larger sheets, but to scale, meaning more white margins, but drawings will respect the proper scale. For a slight charge, we can trim sheets if absolutely necessary.

ANSI E and A0 will be printed on 36x48

ANSI D and A1 will be printed on 24x36

ANSI C and A2 will be printed on 18x24
