1/8 Pliego

Measuring at 250 millimeters by 350 millimeters, 1/8 Pliego offers a surface area of 87,500 square millimeters. With one-eighth the dimensions of Pliego, Colombia's largest paper size standard, 1/8 Pliego was born along with its fractional companions to fill a void between office stock and massive cathedral pliego sheets.

Honed over decades of printing press trial-and-error, 1/8 Pliego arrived at the ideal dimensions for balance, versatility and material efficiency across advertising mediums. Just compact enough for multi-page binding yet spacious for striking visual layouts, its landscape orientation facilitates eye-grabbing graphics for posters, brochures, menus and exhibition signage. The size also suits product catalogs, framing limited run pictures without excess trim waste. Standard but not stuffy – 1/8 Pliego injects options between official papers and industrial stock to empower visually-driven messaging across an array of mediums where the format flexibility enables the communication goal. From real estate yard placards to educational pamphlets, ministry programs to transit maps, today's Colombian designers continue turning to a format fine-tuned by a legacy seeking perfectly proportioned visual impact.
