Standard Final Width and Height

You can create standard width and height dimensions for printed products (i.e., does not apply to non-printed products). If the catalog item is so configured, buyers will then be presented with the pre-defined standard dimension/s and be enabled to enter a custom size (as configured) when ordering products.

Note that these settings are for the final size of a product, not necessarily themedia size. For example: a 10’ x 3’ banner and a 24” x 36” poster that may be printed on continuousmedia.

Note: Setting final width and height is for the convenience of both buyers and printers. It will cause buyers to be shown a pull-down list of standard size prints that the printer offers so they don't have to enter a Custom Width and Height. It lets printers limit options for a product to a standard set of size options.

Note on Finished Sizes: The finished size of a product is the intended size of the product after it is "finished" (i.e, after it has been printed and finished per buyer options). The buyer's job may be printed on a larger sizemedia and, for example, trimmed to accommodate bleeds on the finished size product. A poster with a finished size of 12x18" can be printed on Super-B Media (13x19") and then trimmed to the finished size.

Finished Size specs can come either from buyers entering a custom width and height for a product (if you enable this option on the Products > Settings page) or from the Print Shop that provides buyers with standard final width and height options for a product (by selecting from the available media sizes on the Product > Settings page as shown in the section below).
