International Paper sizes
International Paper Sizes are a standardised system of related sheets sizes, based on a series of three different sizes called A, B or C - all of the same proportions.
Definition of weight, or "substance", of paper is expressed in constant terms as "grammes per square metre" (or gsm); if a sheet of AO paper weighs 90 grammes it is then described as "90 gsm", regardless of the actual size of the sheets.
