Understanding the size of paper needed for your work will be the difference between a professional looking piece and pure awkwardness.
Our easy to use paper size guide is designed to take the confusion out of choosing the size for your printing.
A series paper is used in general printing, including stationery and publications. A0 is the basic, standard sheet and measures 841mm x 1189mm (about 1m2). Each number after that indicates that the sheet is half the size of the sheet before. So A1 will be half the size of A0, A2 is a quarter of A0 and so on.
Paper bigger than A0 keep the same proportions and a number is added to the front of the letter, for example 2A0 is twice as big as an A0 sheet. Below is a simple guide to the different paper and envelope sizes:
PAPER SIZES A0 – 1189×841 mm A1 – 841×594 mm A2 – 594×420 mm A3 – 420×297 mm A4 – 297×210 mm A5 – 210×148 mm A6 – 148×105 mm ENVELOPES B4 – 353×250 mm B5 – 250×176 mm B6 – 176×125 mm C4 – 324×229 mm C5 – 229×162 mm C6 – 162×114 mm DL – 220×110 mm DL Maxi – 230×115 mm
