A0 is defined so that it has an area of 1 m 2 (11 sq ft) before rounding to the nearest 1 millimetre (0.039 in). Successive paper sizes in the series (A1, A2, A3, etc.) are defined by halving the area of the preceding paper size and rounding down, so that the long side of A(n + 1) is the same length as the short side of An.

The alternative Super series, denoted SnR, nR Plus or nR+, has an aspect ratio of 3∶2 (or as close as possible) and thus provides a better fit for standard 135 film (35 mm) at sizes of 8 inches or above. 5R is twice the size of a 2R print, 6R twice the size of a 4R print and S8R twice the size of 6R. 4D/6D is a newer size for most consumer ...
In the metric system, the mass per unit area of all types of paper and paperboard is expressed in terms of grams per square metre (g/m 2).This quantity is commonly called grammage in both English and French, [2] though printers in most English-speaking countries still refer to the "weight" of paper.
