About Size

Paper A Series - Size (A1, A2, A3, A4 etc)

Paper size is normally measured to an international standard known as ISO 216: A3, A4, A5, B4, B5 and so on. These sizes all have the same aspect ratio: 1:√2. A4 is by far the most common and this is the default size for most office and home printers. A3 is twice the size of A4 and tends to be used more for posters or presentations.

The most common sizes are:
C4 (equivalent to A4 paper size)
