Size by Size
This is the most common paper size in India. Used for assignments, letters, forms, application documents, and everyday printing. 99% of regular printing and photocopying uses A4.
Exactly twice the size of A4. Used for large charts, engineering diagrams, floor plans, spreadsheets, and presentation layouts that need more space. Available for both B&W and colour printing.
Four times the size of A4. Used for structural drawings, large site plans, detailed architectural sketches, and posters. Less common in general printing.
Eight times the size of A4. Standard size for professional architectural and engineering drawings. Required for most full-layout architecture and civil engineering submissions.
The largest standard engineering size. Used for complete site layouts, large topographic maps, and oversized technical drawings. We are one of the few shops in VVMC that prints A0.
The largest size in the standard series. Used for very large map prints, exhibition banners, and oversized technical presentations.
Not Sure?
If your college or teacher has not specified a size, use A4. This is the default for all academic submissions in India.
Check your drawing's scale. A drawing at 1:100 scale typically needs A1 or A0. If your AutoCAD file specifies a paper size, print at that exact size. When in doubt, print A1 — it's the most common size for engineering submissions.
A3 is suitable for most classroom posters. For exhibitions, A1 or A0 creates maximum impact. Ask your department what size they expect.
Got Questions?
A3 is exactly twice the size of A4. If you fold an A3 sheet in half, you get two A4 pages. A3 is used when you need more space for diagrams, large tables, or bigger printouts.
We print up to A00 (1,189 × 1,682 mm), making us one of the few shops in the Vasai-Virar-Nalasopara region to offer this size.
Depends on your drawing scale. Most engineering submissions require A1 (for detailed drawings) or A0 (for full site layouts). Check your college guidelines or AutoCAD paper settings.
Yes. A3 colour printing is available. WhatsApp your file or call us for current rates.
Visiting cards and billbooks are printed on custom cut card stock — not standard A-series paper. The content is designed at specific card dimensions before printing.
