More Information

Before France started to use the ISO standard for their paper sizes, there existed their own paper sizes and standards. These standards were known as the AFNOR standard and were established in 1926. The AFNOR standard still resonates today with some paper sizes still in existence.

The paper that is handcrafted is often branded with a watermark to establish where the paper came from.
