Newspaper Ad Design
We’ve been so busy creating award winning newspaper ads for our clients, we haven’t had time to finish writing this page.
Go ahead and take a gander at the newspaper advertising we’ve created for other businesses. Then give us a call.
Newspapers are usually 6 columns wide (again, this may vary from paper to paper based on its physical page size).
Here is the rule. The number of columns (in points/picas), times the height of the ad in inches = Total column inches. For example: 2 columns x 3 inches = 6 column inches.
Some common newspaper ad measurements in width:
- One column (wide) – 12p (12 picas) = 2″ wide
- Two columns (wide) – 25p (25 picas, not 24, that would be too easy) = 4.25″ wide
- Three columns (wide) – 38p6 (38 picas, 6 points) = 6.4375″ wide
- Four columns (wide) – 51p6 (51 picas, 6 points) = 8.625″ wide
- Five columns (wide) – 64p9 (64 picas, 9 points) = 10.8125″ wide
- Six columns (wide) – 78p (78 picas) = 13″
