Size The majority of papers are supplied in the standard “A” series of sizes, as illustrated. Others are complementary to the more traditional British Standard sizes of previous years.
Weight and Thickness Weight is expressed in “gsm” (grammes per square metre). Thickness is measured in microns (thousandths of a millimetre). There is no direct correlation between these two measurements.
