I know it's not that important in the scheme of things but what are the standard ring binders/lever arch files in NZ? Are they two, three or four rings? It's just that the packers are coming back tomorrow and we've got a load of 2 ring binders and if they're not standard use in NZ then we won't bother taking them. I hope someone has time to answer this for me please before about 10.00am UK time tomorrow morning!!!!
Many thanks.

2 ring binders will fit any paper, surely?? :)

No, as I believe the US use paper with 3 holes in. Just wondering whether NZ folders/holed paper are US or UK.

True, true, forgot about those types of binders....

You could always just pack a hole puncher.

I just asked mum in law, you can get 2 3 and 4 hole ring binders in NZ.

Standard A4 notepads are stamped with 2 holes.

What is the normal paper size in NZ, A4 or US letter?

I'm forever confused about paper at work. Why is A4 smaller than A3? I guess it's easier than remembering 8 1/2X11 and 11X17, but at least you know what they mean. Oh, and 2 holes really isn't enough to keep your paper in a binder. :mad: Three works quite nicely.

Sorry. Today I'm just a little sick of absolutely everything being different. Don't get me started about the light switches.....

It's all based around an International Standard where the width & height conform to a ratio. As the A number increases, the paper size becomes half of the previous e.g. A4 is half the size of A3 & A5 is half the size of A4.
