Envelope Sizes

Book size cover

The standard envelope size is defined by the international standard ISO 269, but this standard has now been revoked and replaced with the ISO 216 standard, the paper size standard. Among the international standard sizes, the B series and C series are used more, and the DL format envelopes are the most used in commercial use.

The envelope sizes of US & North American are more diverse than those under the ISO 216 standard. They are mainly divided into three categories: Commercial envelopes, Announcement envelopes and Catalog envelopes. Commercial envelopes are long and thin and suitable for use in offices and commercial occasions. Usually, the ratio of the short side to the long side (aspect ratio) is between 1:1.6 and 1:2.2.

Announcement envelopes are also called A-style or A-series envelopes. They are mainly used for personal use, including photos, greeting cards, etc. The most famous ones are Lady Gray (A2) and Diplomat (A9).

Catalog envelopes are designed for catalogs, brochures and other heavier content. The aspect ratio of catalog envelopes is between 1:1.3 and 1:1.5.

All envelope sizes are shown in the table below.

ISO 216 is an international standard for paper sizes, used across the world except in North America and parts of Latin America. The standard defines the "A", "B" and "C" series of paper sizes, including A4, the most commonly available paper size worldwide.
