BS 4000, Sizes of papers and boards. This British Standard is one of a series dealing wit

9、h stationery and was first published in1947, some minor amendments were incorporated in1954 and it has now been revised to take into account current requirements and the use of metric units. The need for wide variations to meet the requirements of the essential fashion demands of printers cards and

10、blanks was recognized in the preparation of the first edition. Sizes were then established as key sizes so that, apart from that measure of fashion demand, the gradual adoption by the industry of those sizes could provide an increasing volume of trade concentrated within the specified range and ther

11、eby achieving the various benefits of variety reduction. In this edition the number of key sizes has been reduced from25 to16, the new range consisting of11 of those former sizes having wide use together with five “A” sizes from the international range of paper sizes (seeBS4000). Appendix A gives in

12、formation on sizes accepted within the Post Office Preferred (POP) range. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer

13、immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 to4 and a back cover.

30、y postal administrations all over the world, so that more mail can be handled by the latest electronic sorting machines. To fall within the POP range, envelopes used to enclose cards should be: 1) At least 90 mm 140mm and not larger than 120mm 235mm. 2) Oblong in shape, with the longer side at least

31、1.414 (2) times the shorter side. 3) Made from paper weighing at least63g/m 2 . Envelopes outside the POP range may be used, although mail weighing up to the maximum of the first weight step in envelopes outside this range will be liable to an additional charge. Mail weighing more than this weight w

32、ill be unaffected by the choice of envelope. Window envelopes will be treated as falling within the POP range provided they conform in size, shape and weight of paper. Irrespective of their size and shape, all open aperture envelopes (i.e., envelopes where cut-out address panels are not covered with

33、 a transparent material) will be considered outside the POP range. Postcards will be treated as letters and as if they had been posted in an envelope of the same dimensions as the card itself. They must not be less than250 micrometres (0.25mm) thick with a tolerance to an absolute minimum of230micro

34、metres (0.23mm) thick. All other unenveloped matter within the first weight step, including fold-and-tuck forms and items enclosed in wrappers will be considered as outside the POP range. The official reply paid card service has been discontinued in both the Inland and Overseas post. A.2 Overseas ma

35、il The Post Office hopes that envelopes within the POP range will be used wherever possible. The minimum size for letters and cards in the overseas service is90mm 140mm. The maximum size of card qualifying for postcard rate in the overseas service is105mm 148mm. Appendix B Inch equivalents of sizes
