Paper Sizes
What are the standard paper sizes?
If you live in the USA you may be surprised to find that the rest of
the world uses standard paper sizes that are different from what you assume
to be standard. Paper size standards are set by the International Standardization
Organization (ISO) along with many other standards including film speed
and light measurement.
If you have about an hour to boggle your mind you can find out far more
than you intended about paper sizes here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html
Standard paper sizes for printing are divided into A, B and C paper sizes.
The A paper sizes, the most commonly used sizes for brochures, annual
reports, magazines, books, catalogues and newsletters are as shown in
the following tables. B and C formats are used in envelopes, notepads,
books and newspapers. C sizes are primarily used in envelope manufacture
to enclose A sized folded paper.
