Emperor – Imperial Paper Sizes

1219 × 1829mm | 48 × 72in

Imperial sizes were used in the United Kingdom and its territories and some survived in US book printing. These sizes are no longer so widely used, since the UK began using ISO sizes. Many of these sizes were only used for making books (see bookbinding), or for publishing plays (historically, all the published plays of William Shakespeare during his lifetime were printed in Quarto), or for printing story papers and comics, and most types were not offered for ordinary stationery purposes, except foolscap (which was commonly used in schools and universities). Foolscap folio is often referred to simply as “folio” or “foolscap”. Similarly, “quarto” is more correctly “copy draught quarto” and “Kings” is an alias for “Foolscap quarto”.
