Paper Size Information

Paper Sizes

Choose a size for your print project from one of these standard sizes... Paper sizes such as A4 have set dimensions where the next number up is half the previous number's area - hence A5 is half A4, A4 is half A3 etc. DL and Business Cards are the only common sizes not in this scale. "C" sizes are the external envelope dimensions for the equivalent "A" sheet.
