Even though standard paper formats were invented to make our lives easier and save time, we often end up having to look said formats and their dimensions up, and lose time doing it.
As your online printing house, we decided it was time to make a nice table with all the most popular standard formats for printing and their dimensions in cm or inch. It will definitely help you (and us too) to save some time when it comes to handling anything related to standard paper formats!
