A3 vs A4 Deskpad Sizes: Which Should You Choose? | Valenna

A3 vs A4 Deskpad Sizes

Choose A4 landscape for compact desks, reception counters and individual weekly planning. Choose A3 landscape when monthly calendars, team schedules or project plans need larger writing areas.

📏 The two sizes

SizeDimensionsBest for
A4 landscape297 × 210 mmCompact workstations, weekly planners, appointment pads, reception notes
A3 landscape420 × 297 mmMonthly calendars, team schedules, project plans, handwritten notes visible all day
⚠️ Warning: design at the final size. Shrinking an A3 layout into A4 also shrinks date boxes, line spacing and text.

✂️ Bespoke sizes

A bespoke size above A5 and below A4 can be printed on A4 and trimmed to your supplied dimensions at the A4 rate. This does not remove the standard A3 option. See desk calendar dimensions and binding position.

💡 How to choose

  • Small desk or shared reception counter: A4.
  • You want dates and plans readable from a distance: A3.
