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.
