An Explanation of Paper Sizes in the UK

Paper sheet sizes follow a standard system in the UK. The sizes are in numerical order and are preceded by a letter A for the most common sizes

The only countries in the world that don't use A sizes are the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Dominican Republic

The most common set are the A sizes.UK Paper Sizes Diagram

These start at A1 and go down to A10.

A6 is a standard postcard so you can imagine how small A10 is!

The easiest way to imagine the size of paper is to take A4 which is standard printer paper size - A3 will be the same as two pieces of A4 put together and A5 would be the same as the A4 sheet folded in half. And A2 would be 4 sheets of A4 put together

The smaller the number, the larger the paper sheet size.
