Copy Draught

16 x 20 inch
/
406.4 x 508 mm

The Copy Draught paper size measures 16 inches (406 mm) wide by 20 inches (508 mm) high, giving it a moderate total surface area of 320 square inches. As its name hints in meaning a preliminary handwritten manuscript, Copy Draught sheets have traditionally been used for original draft handwritten documents and artwork requiring ample space before final copies are made. Its landscape proportions suit applications like concept sketches, early contour drawings, rough architectural drafts, initial business graphs and charts, and primary longhand written agreements needing roomy freedom to loosely render details before tighter editing and copying to finished documents. Dating back to an era when important original works were painstakingly hand-scribed in large formal scripts, the Copy Draught size afforded sufficient area to liberally hand write while allowing corrections before formally copying finished contracts, drawings or decorative calligraphy to smaller formats. Hence, Copy Draught paper stems from a time when original hand-crafted manuscripts demanded initial loose space for freehanding preliminary renditions.
