Common print sizes

[misol]

I am making my print price list and only want to list on my website common sizes (with a clickable link for all sizes). Its just because I know that many numbers can overwhelm people if I offer every size on mpix. What are your commonly sold sizes?

4x6
5x7
8x10

Those would be the obvious ones...

8.5x11 and 8x12 would probably be good too.


EDIT
I don't sell anything, but those are the sizes I print for myself. I don't think it would be drastically different if I were selling them.

yeah I have 4x6,5x7,8x10 and 8x12. I rarely sell anything larger but sometimes do. Wondernig what are the easiest to sell and frame?

You might think I'm joking, but I'm not.

Go to Wal-Mart and see what size frames they have available. Those will be your "easy to frame" sizes.

so true, the less you offer, the more you sell... 4x6 5x7 8x12

Group 1-traditional photographic print sizes:
3.5x5, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20

Group 2-modern late 20th century photographic print sizes:
common:4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20
less common: 8x12, 16x24

Group 3-New "digital" sizes (derive from common paper sizes):
8.5x11 (classic US letter), 11x17, 12x18, 13x19

Personally, I would recommend you use Group 2 unless your printing source, or your own printing, dictate some mix of #2 and #3.

What are your commonly sold sizes?

the occasional 30x40
24x30
20x24
16x20

After those, the usual desktop print sizes: 11x14, 8x10, 5x7 and 4x6. Wallets too, or course.

So everyone thinks inches is the standard measurement rather than ISO or cm?
