    A paper sizes question:

    If you're from the USA - an online poster store selling A1, A2, A4 sized prints - that's not going to work for you guys? Will average consumer get the 'A1, A3, A3' sizing or that totally alien over in USA?

    If you went to Ikea, frames wouldn't be standardised for it? Easy to pick up a Frame for an A2 print?

    Or are these sizes more 'standard'?

    24x36in
    16x24in
    12x16in

    • typically nobody uses A sized papers in the US and canadapango
    • No average consumer in North America uses that sizing system. Standard for posters here are 18x24, 24x36Gnash
    • Photo prints have more varied standard sizes, but nobody uses the A1,A3,.. system as a consumer facing elementGnash
    • You already asked this question.monospaced
    • Even at ikea - everyone here finds their euro style measuring annoyingGnash
    • Yes, sizes in inches are standard.monospaced
    • But the idea that we can’t get A size frames or custom frames is ludicrous. We can get anything here. It’s just a minor inconveniencemonospaced
    • It’s easier to get a frame for a 12x18 or 18x24 than an A frame if you’re just grabbing it off the shelf I suppose.monospaced
    • Cool got it. Damn... Would be easier if the whole world used the A standard. Inches... flipping heck...shapesalad
    • Thanks everyone.shapesalad
