If you’ve designed anything in print outside your country’s border, you’re painfully aware of how paper sizes differ around the world. Last year, UK Designer Rob Lafratta and developer Richard Franklin created PaperSizes—an elegant mobile app and website for accessing 250 international paper sizes in mm and inches.
Thank you gentlemen.

Hello again Chuck,
Recently I bought two handbooks that have been on my shopping list for some time now. In the process I discovered that they have on their website a section with resources and in that section there is a very handy paper size chart that I kindly recommend.

Nice addition, thank you.
The books look like fun. I’m rather surprised that I don’t find a comprehensive, current book on printing and print production. Something like International Paper’s long defunct, PocketPal: “the authoritative introduction to the graphic arts.” It’s as if print has gone away when, in reality, it is still a massive industry.
