Editing Paper size (section)

== Traditional French paper sizes ==

Before the adoption of the ISO standard system in 1967, France had its own paper size system. Raisin format is still in use today for artistic paper. All are standardized by the [[Association française de normalisation|AFNOR]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Norme NF Q 02-000: Dimensions des papiers d'écriture et de certaines catégories de papiers d'impression |publisher=[[Association française de normalisation]] |language=fr}}</ref> Their names come from the [[watermark]]s that the papers were branded with when they were handcrafted, which is still the case for certain art papers. They also generally exist in double versions where the smallest measure is multiplied by two, or in quadruple versions where both measures have been doubled.
