International standard sizesInternational standard ISO 269 defines several standard envelope sizes, which are designed for use with ISO 216 standard paper sizes:

Format Dimensions (HxW mm) Suitable for content format
DL 110 × 220 1/3 A4
C7/C6 81 x 162 1/3 A5
C6 114 × 162 A6 (or A4 folded in half twice)
C6/C5 114 × 229 1/3 A4
C5 162 × 229 A5 (or A4 folded in half once)
C4 229 × 324 A4
C3 324 × 458 A3
B6 125 × 176 C6
B5 176 × 250 C5
B4 250 × 353 C4
E3 280 × 400 B4

The German standard DIN 678 defines a similar list of envelope formats.

[edit] North American sizesThere are dozens of sizes of envelopes available. Not all are used for posting mail, but for such things as former pay packets or putting a gift card or a key in. U.S. and Canadian postal regulations[citation needed] differ from those of the rest of the world; although envelopes are still deliverable worldwide by the regulations of the Universal Postal Union, the sorting machines will not accept the international sizes. This is not as much a difference as usually thought, for the location of sending address and return address differ between Germany and France, for example.[clarification needed]

The designations such as "A2" do not correspond to ISO paper sizes.
