 ISO269 Standard C-Series Paper Sizes

The C series of paper is used only for envelopes; as the area of a C series sheet is the geometric mean
of the A and B series sheets of the same number, meaning C series paper is slightly larger than the
corresponding A series sheet, and slightly smaller than the corresponding B series sheet.

 ANSI/ASME Y14.1 Standard ANSI-Series Paper Sizes

paper sizes based upon the de facto standard 'US Letter' size (8.5''x 11'' or 216mm x 279mm) which is
called 'ANSI A', the already existing 'US Ledger/Tabloid' size was also included in the series as 'ANSI
B'.

 North American Architectural Sizes

In addition to the North American ANSI system, there is a corresponding series of paper sizes used for
architectural purposes. This series of paper sizes is preferred by North American architects because the
aspect ratios (4:3 and 3:2) are ratios of small integers, unlike their ANSI or ISO standard counterparts.
