This size is a little larger than ISO A0 (841 mm x 1189 mm), and for a short time, a size called A0a of 1,000 by 1,370 millimetres (39.4 in × 53.9 in) was used in Britain, which was in reality a slightly shorter version of ISO B0 (1414 mm).
The most used of this series is the size A4, which is 210 mm × 297 mm (8.27 in × 11.7 in) and thus almost exactly 1 ⁄ 16 square metre (0.0625 m 2; 96.8752 sq in) in area. For comparison, the letter paper size commonly used in North America ( 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 11 in; 216 mm × 279 mm) is about 6 mm ( 0.24 in ) wider and 18 mm ( 0.71 in ...
A0, A-0, A 0, or a 0 may refer to: 101 A0 and 103 A0, two versions of the German Heinkel Tourist moped; A0 paper size, an international ISO 216 standard paper size (841 × 1189 mm), which results in an area very close to 1 m 2; A0 highway (Zimbabwe), a highway which orbits Zimbabwe; A0, the lowest A (musical note) note on a standard piano; A0 ...
It was first adopted in Germany in 1922 and generally spread as nations adopted the metric system. The largest standard size paper is A0 (A zero), measuring one square metre (approx. 1189 × 841 mm). A1 is half the size of a sheet of A0 (i.e., 594 mm × 841 mm), such that two sheets of A1 placed side by side are equal to one sheet of A0.
The precise origins of the dimensions of US letter-size paper (8.5 × 11 in) are not known. The American Forest & Paper Association says that the standard US dimensions have their origin in the days of manual papermaking, the 11-inch length of the standard paper being about a quarter of "the average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms".

A quire of paper is a measure of paper quantity. The usual meaning is 25 sheets of the same size and quality: 1 ⁄ 20 of a ream of 500 sheets. Quires of 25 sheets are often used for machine-made paper, while quires of 24 sheets are often used for handmade or specialised paper of 480-sheet reams.

The alternative Super series, denoted SnR, nR Plus or nR+, has an aspect ratio of 3∶2 (or as close as possible) and thus provides a better fit for standard 135 film (35 mm) at sizes of 8 inches or above. 5R is twice the size of a 2R print, 6R twice the size of a 4R print and S8R twice the size of 6R. 4D/6D is a newer size for most consumer ...
