What you need to know
Tabloid (portrait, 11×17) and Ledger (landscape, 17×11) are the same physical paper, just oriented differently. The name 'tabloid' comes from tabloid newspapers that use this size. In the ANSI paper size system, it's designated ANSI B.
Tabloid is the largest size most standard wide-format office printers can handle. It's commonly used for small posters, real estate flyers, restaurant menus, newsletters, and architectural sketches. Two Letter-size pages printed side by side on a Tabloid sheet create a booklet spread.
When designing for Tabloid, remember that it's exactly two Letter pages — this makes it natural for bifold brochures (fold in half for a Letter-size cover) and booklet printing. Design your spread at 3300×5100px and it folds cleanly into two 2550×3300 Letter panels.
