300mm width 150mm height.
I was under the impression it was always width first otherwise stupid things like what I suspect happened to you happen
.
I don't think there's any requirement for portrait or landscape specification in this as it should always be width by height.

Thanks Mynight, that's exactly what I assumed, I'm not going mad!
You're quite right, I got caught out with three adverts — all ready to go to print and then the paper tells us that they're the wrong way around…
I asked my colleague who said it's height first, so I started doubting myself.
10 years in print design; you would have thought things like this wouldn't happen.

It's painful sometimes isn't it.
Afaik it exactly the same as coordinates on a graph "along the corridor and up the stairs". I was pretty sure it's a industry standard but I'm somewhat doubting that if both your colleague and the paper screwed up.
Maybe your colleague needs to reevaluate his chosen career.
On the upside at least the error was caught before printing

Always width x height. You don't say 1080x1920px for video do you 
.
It's also the order in which the dimensions feature in any/every editing program... ever.

Thanks again guys.
It's certainly not the biggest problem in the world and, as you say Mynight, we caught it before it became an issue. It just had me questioning myself. The graph coordinates also makes sense.
Good point about 1920x1080px Russinating - I did worry for a second that it might be different for print and digitial and I never got the memo.
