Provides a millimeter size reference chart for Japanese Kiku and Chinese 4/6 paper formats, ideal for the printing, design, and publishing industries.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This page is a fixed metric reference for the Taiwan Kiku (菊版, often written G-series) size names. It lists eight rows only, from G1K through G128K. Dimensions are shown as the shorter side × longer side in millimeters; for example, G8K is 210 × 297 mm. There is no need to enter a size or convert units to read a row.
| Taiwan label | Short × long side | Same dimensions as |
|---|---|---|
| 菊全紙 (G1K) | 594 × 841 mm | A1 |
| 菊對開 (G2K) | 420 × 594 mm | A2 |
| 菊4開 (G4K) | 297 × 420 mm | A3 |
| 菊8開 (G8K) | 210 × 297 mm | A4 |
| 菊16開 (G16K) | 148 × 210 mm | A5 |
| 菊32開 (G32K) | 105 × 148 mm | A6 |
| 菊64開 (G64K) | 74 × 105 mm | A7 |
| 菊128開 (G128K) | 52 × 74 mm | A8 |
The A-series entries identify identical nominal edge measurements in the table; the matching dimensions do not make every paper-ordering or print-production context interchangeable. The listed A-series measurements are also registered as standard media dimensions by IANA.
In these labels, 1K is the full sheet and each doubling of the count marks a further subdivision: 2K, 4K, 8K, and so on. The short-side-first order is consistent throughout the table. Turning a sheet to landscape changes how you place it, not its size: G8K can be laid out as 297 × 210 mm without becoming another Kiku size.
For a quick lookup, match the exact G code first, then copy both the code and full measurement into a specification. A bare “8K” can refer to a different paper family, so the prefix and regional label matter.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Use the displayed G code or Chinese Kiku label, such as G16K or 菊16開. The table is reference-only and needs no input.
Record the short edge first. For instance, write “G16K, 148 × 210 mm”; if the page will be landscape, state its orientation separately.
Ask the print provider whether the requested figure means the finished trimmed sheet, a press sheet, or untrimmed stock before using it in a purchase order.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
A designer asked for G8K can begin with a 210 × 297 mm finished page, then confirm bleed and safe-area settings separately with the printer.
An office user can compare a requested Kiku code with its millimeter row before choosing a document size. Printer tray support and feed direction still need separate checking.
A buyer can include “G4K, 297 × 420 mm” in a request so the supplier can confirm that both parties mean the same finished or stock size.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
The table gives both as 210 × 297 mm. That is a match of the listed dimensions; retain the G8K name when a printer or supplier specifies a Kiku format.
No. It is the same pair of edges written in landscape order. This lookup consistently writes the shorter edge first.
No. It contains eight Kiku G-series entries, not the 4/6 (四六版) family or its differing stock and finished-size conventions.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
Use these rows to identify nominal dimensions. The lookup does not calculate sheet yield, imposition, bleed, trim loss, binding allowance, paper weight, or whether a particular press can run the stock.
