#A2 SIZE IN CM SERIES#
The A Series paper size chart gives a visual explanation of how the sizes relate to each other - for example A5 is half of A4 size paper and A2 is half of A1 size paper.

The dimensions of the A series paper sizes, as defined by ISO 216, are given in the table below in both millimetres and inches (cm measurements can be obtained by dividing mm value by 10). Note: The last item is there because the root 2 aspect ratio doesn't always give a whole number. The standard length and width of each size is rounded to the nearest millimetre. The A0 size has an area of 1 square metre.Įach subsequent size A(n) is defined as A(n-1) cut in half parallel to its shorter sides. The length divided by the width is 1.4142 The ISO 216 definiton of the A paper sizes is based on the following basis: The mathematics behind this useful feature is that the sheets have an aspect ratio (that's the ratio of the length to the width) of the square root of 2. This system allows for a variety of useful applications, such as the enlarging and reducing of images without any cut off or margins, or folding to make a booklet of the next size down. The ISO paper size A standard is based on each size being half of the size of the previous one, when folded parallel to the shorter lengths.

This explains why when you fold an A4 piece of paper in half, it turns into an A5 piece of paper.ISO Paper Sizes Standard Overview & Rationale Metric paper sizes will mostly all have the same aspect ratio which allows for the paper size to decrease by a metric size when cut or folded in half widthways (with those halves then following the same mathematical rules). This standard classifies paper into two series – A and B. Metric sized paper follows an international standard of paper (known in the biz’ as ISO 216) – although not in Canada, the USA, Mexico or the Dominican Republic. Metric (mm) paper size guide and brief history: Here’s a rundown of common sizes split by Imperial and Metric measurements, as well as banner sizes: You’ll know if a sign holder has been designed for metric or imperial sized paper based on whichever has the roundest number. When buying your poster holders, make sure you check the size available. There’s no right or wrong when it comes to which size is best for you – but generally speaking, most sign holders will be made to accommodate metric paper as a standard.
