Understand paper sizes
Countries that use the metric system
tend to use the International Standards Organization (I.S.O.) paper sizes. The
standard consists of 3 series (A, B and C), each using number suffices (0 to 10)
to indicate exact sizes, the lower the number, the larger the size. The
following charts should help you determine the size that meets your printing
needs. As international sizes are expressed in millimeters, please
remember that sizes in inches are approximate.
