Paper Sizes

Over the course of history, many standards have existed for paper sizes, and many still exist in different parts of the world. Howerver there are now two systems in use by the majority of people.

The International Standard (ISO) and North American sizes.
Sizes are documented extensively at sites such as Wikepedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size

Below are the basic ‘A’ sizes which you will most probably want to use when preparing artwork to submit to Giraffecards. In particular we print with A5 and A6 from the ‘A’ series. We additionally use DL (210 x 99mm) and business card (85 x 55mm) sizes.
