Here’s our answers to that question:
What size stamp should I make?
Stamps around 1-2 inches are the best size. We suggest you choose a size that will leave room for at least a couple more stamps per page.
What size is the passport?
Each stamping page is the same size as a standard passport (3.5″ x 5″) and has a header and footer with the Polynesiacs Waypoints.

Your stamp should reflect your space, personality, and ability!
