Metric Paper Sizes
The basic size of metric paper is one square meter, which is the area of an A0 sheet of metric paper.
This size, taken along with the aspect ratio, fully determines the size and shape of metric reprographics paper.
For a given sheet size, United States paper is a little wider than metric paper in the short dimension,
and a little shorter than metric paper in the long dimension.
As can be seen, A0 size folded once is A1 size, folded twice is A2 size, folded thrice is A3 size, and folded 4 times is A4 size.
Metric paper also has a B series of sizes for posters and wallcharts and a C series of sizes for envelopes.

ISO Paper/Trim Sizes Width precedes height; Press-sheet sizes accommodate 3 mm (1/8") head, foot, and fore-edge trim margins; Metric measurements are exact; Inch measurements are approximate (calculated at 25.4 mm = 1 inch and rounded off). ISO A series papers were intended for general printing (such as publications and stationery); B series papers were intended for posters, wall charts, fine-art reproductions, and the like; C series papers were intended for envelopes but are also used for folders and postcards.
