They are normally printed horizontally and issued folded. Although it is sometimes referred to as the two sheet, it is not exactly twice the size of a one-sheet. Subway sheets are printed on a thicker paper than are the one-sheets, but not as thick as a card stock. Most subway sheets contain the same artwork as the advance materials, and are almost always issued as "advances." They are most often found in subway displays. These posters can be either rolled or folded. Subway sheets still enjoy limited use in New York and surrounding areas. They are rarely used outside of this geographic area)
