Photo strips typically come in a standard size, with some providers offering unique variations to accommodate different styles and preferences.
Standard Photo Strip Dimensions
The most widely recognized and commonly supplied size for photo strips, especially from photo booth providers, measures 2×6 inches. When converted to the metric system, this translates to approximately 5×15.5 cm. This compact size is popular for its portability and classic photo booth aesthetic, often featuring multiple individual photos arranged vertically.
Variations in Photo Strip Sizes
While the 2x6 inch format is prevalent, certain companies offer distinct dimensions or layouts to provide a unique experience.
Retro Me's Unique Offering
As an example of a variation, Retro Me offers a photo strip measuring 7×2 inches. This particular design is characterized by:
- Four separate frames: Allowing for a sequence of different poses or expressions.
- Portrait style orientation: The frames within the strip are arranged in a portrait layout, providing a distinct visual presentation compared to the typical 2x6 strip where photos are often arranged in a more squarish format relative to the strip's width.
This larger format can offer more detail in each frame or a different overall feel for the photo keepsake.
