The Pinched Post paper size measures 14.8 inches (375 mm) wide by 18.5 inches (470 mm) high, yielding a moderately compact total surface area of 274 square inches. As the name hints by indicating a compressed reduction of Post size, Pinched Post sheets offer space between standard and full Post formats. With area slightly greater than letter dimensions, Pinched Post has lent itself well to contexts including oversized stationery needs, smallish tables/charts/graphics, compact drafting plans, moderate artwork studies, and assorted documents warranting an edge more room than conventional sizes allow. Its partial post roots trace back to use alongside or as enclosure inserts for mailing purposes. Hence, Pinched Post has commonly served supplementary documentation purposes having area requirements greater than envelopes permit yet less than bulkier Post proportion needs. So in contexts spanning correspondence to visual media to bureaucratic forms, Pinched Post handily fills a niche for attachments, inserts, accompaniments, and mixes requiring an intermediate sheet size surpassing standard sizes while avoiding oversized Post bulk.
