Metric Paper Sizes
The basic size of metric paper is one square meter, which is the
area of an A0 sheet of metric paper. This size, taken along with
the aspect ratio, fully determines the size and shape of metric
reprographics paper.
For a given sheet size, United States paper is a little wider than
metric paper in the short dimension, and a little shorter than
metric paper in the long dimension.
As can be seen, A0 size folded once is A1 size, folded twice is A2
size, folded thrice is A3 size, and folded 4 times is A4 size.
Metric paper also has a B series of sizes for posters and
wallcharts and a C series of sizes for envelopes.
