Display Oversized Maps and Facility Information
A 16" x 20" format gives facilities more room for detailed maps, larger diagrams, multi-part notices, and other content that isn't well suited to letter-, legal-, or tabloid-size paper.
For evacuation maps, the larger format can be useful when the floor plan contains enough detail that reducing it to a smaller sheet would make the information harder to present clearly. For general messages, it provides more space for information that needs a larger visual footprint in common or shared areas.
Plan for the Finished Holder Size
Measure the intended installation area before ordering. A 16" x 20" insert doesn't mean the complete wall display measures exactly 16" x 20". The current oversized category includes holders designed for 16" x 20" paper with larger overall dimensions that vary by sign style.
Account for nearby doors, switches, architectural features, and other signs when determining whether an oversized holder will fit comfortably at the intended location.
Choose Oversized When the Content Needs It
Larger isn't automatically better. Use an oversized holder when the map, diagram, or message genuinely needs more room to remain clear and useful at the posting location. For simpler notices or less detailed maps, a smaller holder may provide the same function while using less wall space.
Browse Message Holders & Evacuation Map Holders if you need to compare 8.5x11, legal-size, 11x17, and oversized display options.
