How many fit a sheet
Two answers, because there are two reasons to print one. Cutting them out needs bleed and trim marks, and both take room.
| Letter | 2 printing at home, turned on their side. 1 with bleed and trim marks. |
|---|---|
| A4 | 1 printing at home. 1 with bleed and trim marks. |
Where this size comes from
5.5 × 8.5 in is the BoboCreate preset for half letter, under Cards & paper. The party sizes were counted from what bobotemp actually sells rather than chosen, which makes them common sizes — not an industry standard, and not a particular manufacturer's specification. If you are printing to fit a physical product, measure the product.
