In the UK, most photography labs show their print sizes in inches. Being from Germany, I found this very strange at first, but after years working in the industry I have gotten used to it and the normal inch-sized prints make sense to me. I have provided a little chart which gives the correct sizes of the typical print sizes in centimetres (middle column) as well as the nearest equivalent metric print sizes for easy measuring at home.

Hey, I am Nadin! (same as "Nadine" - just without the "e"). I am a wedding photographer in Edinburgh, Scotland, specialising in big family weddings in Edinburgh, Scotland, and internationally. I have photographed so many weddings, and it is my mission to help couples with planning their dream wedding. Any questions I come across repeatedly - either in person or online, I will pop in here and provide more insight.
I hope you will find them useful :)
