For what is the C series of paper sizes used?
"Paper size Many paper size standards conventions have existed at different times and in different countries. Today, the A and B series of ISO 216, which includes the commonly used A4 size, are the international standard used by almost every country. However, in many countries in the Americas as well as in the Philippines, the North American series of paper sizes such as 'Letter' and 'Legal' is more prevalent. Paper sizes affect writing paper, stationery, cards, and some printed documents. The international standard for envelopes is the C series of ISO 269 P10 size is the smallest of them all,"
"the ISO A series). Thus, the lengths of JIS B series paper are ≈ 1.22 times those of A-series paper. By comparison, the lengths of ISO B series paper are ≈ 1.19 times those of A-series paper. The C series formats are geometric means between the B series and A series formats with the same number (e.g., C2 is the geometric mean between B2 and A2). The width to height ratio is as in the A and B series. The C series formats are used mainly for envelopes. An A4 page will fit into a C4 envelope. C series envelopes"
"follow the same ratio principle as the A series pages. For example, if an A4 page is folded in half so that it is A5 in size, it will fit into a C5 envelope (which will be the same size as a C4 envelope folded in half). The lengths of ISO C series paper are therefore ≈ 1.09 times those of A-series paper. A, B, and C paper fit together as part of a geometric progression, with ratio of successive side lengths of , though there is no size half-way between B""n"" and A(""n"" − 1): A4, C4, B4, ""D4"","
"series (A1, A2, A3, etc.) are defined by halving the length of the preceding paper size and rounding down, so that the long side of A(""n""+1) is the same length as the short side of A""n"". Hence, each next size is roughly half of the prior size. So, an A1 page can fit 2 A2 pages inside the same area. The most used of this series is the size A4, which is and thus almost exactly in area. For comparison, the letter paper size commonly used in North America () is about 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 18 mm"
"are popular in Sweden and the Netherlands for printing dissertations, but the other formats have not turned out to be particularly useful in practice and they have not been adopted internationally. The Swedish and German D series basically contain the same sizes, but are offset by one, i.e. DIN D4 equals SIS D5 and so on. The JIS defines two main series of paper sizes. The JIS A-series is identical to the ISO A-series, but with slightly different tolerances. The area of B-series paper is 1.5 times that of the corresponding A-paper (instead of the factor = 1.414... for the"
"is formed by all possible paper dimensions (length and width) of the series arranged in a decreasing order. This interesting arrangement of dimensions is also very useful - not only it forms a geometric progression with easy to remember formulae, it also has that each consecutive pair of values (like a sliding window of size 2) will automatically correspond to the dimensions of a standard paper format in the series. The tolerances specified in the standard are The German standard DIN 476 was published on 18 August 1922 and is the original specification of the A, B and C sizes."

In Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, and the Philippines, the US letter format is still in common use, despite their official adoption of the ISO standard. In addition to the A series, there is a less common B series. The area of B series sheets is the geometric mean of successive A series sheets. So, B1 is between A0 and A1 in size, with an area of 0.707 m ( m). As a result, B0 is 1 metre wide, and other sizes in the B"

Both A- and B-series paper is widely available in Japan, Taiwan and China, and most photocopiers are loaded with at least A4 and either one of A3, B4 and B5 paper. There are also a number of traditional paper sizes, which are now used mostly by printers. The most common of these old series are the Shiroku-ban and the Kiku paper sizes.

All custom Canadian paper size standards were withdrawn in 2012 and the respective ISO standards took their places. With care, documents can be prepared so that the text and images fit on either ANSI or their equivalent ISO sheets at 1:1 reproduction scale.

It measures . US Letter-size paper is a standard defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, paper size A), in contrast to A4 paper used by most other countries, and adopted at varying dates, which is defined by the International Organization for Standardization, specifically in ISO 216.

The United States, Canada, and the Philippines primarily use a different system of paper sizes compared to the rest of the world. The current standard sizes are unique to those countries, although due to the size of the North American market and proliferation of both software and printing hardware from the region, other parts of the world have become increasingly familiar with these sizes (though not necessarily the paper itself). Some traditional North American inch-based sizes differ from the Imperial British sizes described"
"a number of different sizes were defined for large sheets of paper, and paper sizes were defined by the sheet name and the number of times it had been folded. Thus a full sheet of ""royal"" paper was 25 × 20 inches, and ""royal octavo"" was this size folded three times, so as to make eight sheets, and was thus 10 × inches. Imperial sizes were used in the United Kingdom and its territories. These sizes are no longer commonly used since the UK switched to ISO sizes. Many of these sizes were only used for making books (see bookbinding),"

A2 is half the size of a sheet of A1, and so forth. Common sizes used in the office and the home are A4 and A3 (A3 is the size of two A4 sheets). The density of paper ranges from for tissue paper to for some speciality paper. Printing paper is about . Paper may be classified into seven categories: Some paper types include:"
"Photo print sizes Standard photographic print sizes are used in photographic printing. Cut sheets of paper meant for printing photographs are commonly sold in these sizes. They are often denoted with a code of the format ""n""R, where the number ""n"" represents the length of the shorter edge in inches. In the normal series, the long edge is the length of the short edge plus 2 inches (10 in or less) or 3 inches (11 in and above). The alternative Super series, denoted S""n""R, has an aspect ratio of 3:2 (or as close as possible) and thus provides a better"
"National Standards Institute adopted ANSI/ASME Y14.1 which defined a regular series of paper sizes based upon the ""de facto"" standard Letter size which it assigned ""ANSI A"", intended for technical drawings, hence sometimes labeled ""Engineering"". This series is somewhat similar to the ISO standard in that cutting a sheet in half would produce two sheets of the next smaller size and therefore also includes Ledger/Tabloid as ""ANSI B"". Unlike the ISO standard, however, the arbitrary base sides forces this series to have two alternating aspect ratios. For example, ANSI A is less elongated than A4, while ANSI B is more"

Successive paper sizes in the series A1, A2, A3, and so forth, are defined by halving the preceding paper size across the larger dimension. This also effectively halves the area of each sheet. The most frequently used paper size is A4 measuring .

"containing less than 10 micrometers of paper The international paper size standard is ISO 216. It is based on the German DIN 476 standard for paper sizes. ISO paper sizes are all based on a single aspect ratio of the square root of 2, or approximately 1:1.4142. There are different series, as well as several extensions. The following international paper sizes are included in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): ""A3"", ""A4"", ""A5"", ""B4"", ""B5"". The base A0 size of paper is defined as having an area of 1 m and a dimension ratio of 1 to , making the A0 paper"
"therefore depends on the dimensions of the paper and its thickness. Most commercial paper sold in North America is cut to standard paper sizes based on customary units and is defined by the length and width of a sheet of paper. The ISO 216 system used in most other countries is based on the surface area of a sheet of paper, not on a sheet's width and length. 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 meter (approx. 1189"
"Foolscap folio Foolscap folio (commonly contracted to foolscap or folio and in short FC) is paper cut to the size of (for ""normal"" writing paper, ). This was a traditional paper size used in Europe and the British Commonwealth, before the adoption of the international standard A4 paper. A full foolscap paper sheet is actually in size, and a folio sheet of any type is half the standard sheet size or a subdivision of this into halves, quarters and so on. Ring binders or lever arch files designed to hold foolscap folios are often used to hold A4 paper ()."

The following table is adapted from the scale of the American Library Association, in which ""size"" refers to the dimensions of the cover (trimmed pages will be somewhat smaller, often by about or ). The words before octavo signify the traditional names for unfolded paper sheet sizes. Other dimensions may exist as well. A common paperback size in the UK is B-format. For example, Penguin Classics are in B-format, which is 129mm x 198mm. This contrasts with A-format (110 mm × 178 mm) and C-format (135mm x 216mm). In book construction, Japan uses a mixture of ISO"

In addition to the system as listed above, there is a corresponding series of paper sizes used for architectural purposes defined in the same standard, ANSI/ASME Y14.1, which is usually abbreviated ""Arch"". This series also shares the property that bisecting each size produces two of the size below, with alternating aspect ratios.

In Canada, US paper sizes are a de facto standard. The government, however, also uses ISO paper sizes. There is an additional paper size, , to which the name ""Government-Letter"" was given by the IEEE Printer Working Group (PWG). It was prescribed by Herbert Hoover when he was Secretary of Commerce to be used for US government forms, apparently to enable discounts from the purchase of paper for schools, but more likely due to the standard use of trimming"
