Kodak Premium roll photographic paper uses the
Imperial sizes with exact conversion into metric,
perhaps the labs round the sizes; for example:

24" x 100' (60.9cm x 30.5m)  1439942
36" x 100' (91.4cm x 30.5m)  8542003
42" x 100' (106.7cm x 30.5m)  8599185
50" x 100' (127cm x 30.5m)  1638436
60" x 100' (152.4cm x 30.5m)  8833782
Short Roll
36" x 16.4' (91.4cm x 5m)

Ilford uses the metric system, for example:

1129296
XILD.1K 10.2cmx150m 1 C76O
1129306
XILD.1K 12.7cmx150m 1 C76O
1129315
XILD.1K 21cmx75m 1C76O
1129324
XILD.1K 25.4cmx75m 1 C76O
1129333
XILD.1K 30.5cmx50m 1 C76O
1129342
XILD.1K 50.8cmx50m 1C76O
1129351
XILD.1K 76.2cmx30.5m 1C76I
1129360
XILD.1K 81.3cmx30.5m 1C76I
1129966
XILD.1K 86.4cmx30.5m 1C76I
1129379
XILD.1K 101.6cmx30.5m 1C76I
1129388
XILD.1K 105cmx30.5m 1 C76I
1129397
XILD.1K 127cmx30.5m 1 C76I

I have color prints from my lab 15x15cm(rounded),
18x18cm (rounded)21x21cm (rounded) and 50x50cm
(rounded), the prints don't cover 100% of the negative
image area, but it happens for the 35mm negs too.

All the best
Carlos
