The difference of the A series paper in China

The dimensions of the A series paper sizes are defined by the ISO 216 standard. And it is widely adopted by the countries in Europe and North America. However, things are quite different in China. For example, the international standard A4 paper size is 210*297mm, while it is 210*285mm in China.

Due to the low costs of printing and packaging in China, many European and North American Countries import printing and packaging products from China. Therefore, for the graphic designers, a good understanding of the paper size used in China can efficiently reduce the paper cutting waste and cost. Below are the details.
