Paper sizes

ISO 216 (DIN 476), german standard for paper sizes

“DIN A” Papers: In the metric system paper is measured in square meters. The base measurement for an A0 sheet is 841 millimeters by 1,189 mm (.841 × 1189 ≅ 1 square meter). An DIN A1 paper is half of DIN A0, DIN A2 is half of DIN A1, and so on.

Calculate paper weight

Weight of paper and printing materials (flyers, brochures, etc.)

Paper weight should be calculated by using the following formula

Sheet size (cm) × paper weight (g/m²) / 10,000 × sheets = total weight

Example

DIN A4 with 105 g/m², 16 sheets
(21 × 29,7) × 105 / 10.000 = 6,55 g × 16 sheets = 104,78 g

Optional values can be set if necessary

Cellophane glossy: approx. 20 g/m² per sheet
Cellophane matt: approx. 25 g/m² per sheet
Colour spread: approx. 2 g/m² (depending on ink coverage)
