    Paper sizes can seem confusing and even more so when you have products and projects from the USA as they still use imperial measurements. Australia follows the European ISO standard and metric measurements. I think just about anyone would recognise an A4 sheet of paper but that is just one of the "A" Standards sizes. The whole thing is quite logical as you can see from the picture in this article. Two A4's make an A3 and two A3's make an A2 etc.

    In the table below you can see the metric and imperial sizes which we hope help you when you are choosing, making or just measuring card or paper.

    A0 1189 x 841 mm 46.8 x 33.1 in
    A1 841 x 594 mm 33.1 x 23.4 in

    A5 210 x 148 mm 8.3 x 5.8 in
    A6 148 x 105 mm 5.8 x 4.1 in
    A7 105 x 74 mm 4.1 x. 2.9 in
