What is the size of folio paper?

• Folio size in cm: 21.5 x 33 cm
• Folio size in mm: 215 x 330 mm
• Folio size in inch: ± 8.5 x 13 inches

This size is slightly longer than A4 paper, so it requires special attention during the cutting and finishing process, especially on automatic machines.

Why are the folio size often used for official documents?

There are several reasons why folio size is so popular in the context of official documents, especially in Indonesia:

1. Wider for formal writing

2. Standards in government and legal institutions

Neat Print Tips Using Folio Size

Using the folio size to print documents is not only a matter of choosing paper sizes, but also adjusting the settings so that the print results remain neat and professional. Here are some tips that you can apply:

1. Make sure the page setup in the software is appropriate

Before printing the document, make sure you have set the paper size in the application used, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or PDF Editor. If there is no “folio” option, you can choose “Custom Size” and enter 21.5 cm x 33 cm.

2. Use proportional margins

Because the folio is longer, you can use the upper-down margin that is slightly larger than usual. This will help maintain the appearance of the document remaining symmetrical and easy to read.

3. Check the paper size on the printer

Make sure the folio paper you use is not exchanged with F4 or A4. The difference between a few millimeters can make the print results cut off. Use a printer tray that can be adjusted or select a printer with a paper-detect feature.

4. Avoid automatic scaling when printing pdf

Many PDF software that default does automatic scaling. Make sure you choose the “Actual Size” option when printing so that the document does not shrink or enlarge disproportionally.

5. Use a precision cutting machine if you have to adjust the size

If you have to cut or adjust the size of the folio manually, you should use a professional paper cutting machine so that the results are neat and not tilted. Cutting machines such as those available in Maxipro are highly recommended for commercial and professional print products.

6. Choose paper with the right grammar

For official documents, use folio paper with a minimum of 70 GSM grammar so it is not easily tangled or torn. If you want to be more exclusive, use 80-100 GSM paper.
