UK Paper Sizes Guide: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 A6, A7 & A8 Dimensions

Navigating the world of paper sizes can be daunting, but understanding the standard UK paper dimensions can make your printing projects much smoother.

The A-series paper sizes, from A0 to A8, are based on a consistent aspect ratio of 1:√2, ensuring that each size down is half the area of the previous size.

A0 (841 x 1189 mm) is ideal for large posters and architectural drawings, A1 (594 x 841 mm) suits posters and charts, A2 (420 x 594 mm) works well for posters and drawings, A3 (297 x 420 mm) is used for drawings and diagrams, A4 (210 x 297 mm) is the standard for letters and documents, A5 (148 x 210 mm) fits notepads and flyers, A6 (105 x 148 mm) is perfect for postcards and invitations, A7 (74 x 105 mm) is suitable for small notepads and labels, and A8 (52 x 74 mm) is ideal for business cards and vouchers.

Choosing the right paper size depends on your specific needs, purpose, audience, and budget.
