A formats The mostly used

Formats used in Europe to maximize printing budgets according to rolls and paper sheets available. Never use the "Letter format" in Europe and always convert your files to A4.

Digital Express printing allows tailored formats (flyers, business cards, posters, brochures...). Offset printing doesn't allow it all the time.

B formats Large posters

B formats are not very optimized for small size printing as all sheets in Europe are based on the A formats. You can loose a 30% surface for the same price as an A format. For large formats, it's not a problem. Otherwise it follows the same rules as the A formats.
