Share:
The dimensions of the A series paper sizes, as defined by ISO 216, are given in the table below in both millimetres and inches. The A Series paper size chart to the right gives a visual explanation of how the sizes relate to each other.

To obtain paper sizes in centimetres, convert mm values to cm by dividing by 10.
4A0 & 2A0 - The DIN 476 Oversize Formats:
4A0
& 2A0 aren't formerly defined by ISO 216 but are commonly used for oversized paper. The origin of these formats is in the German DIN 476 standard, that was the original base document from which ISO 216 was derived.
A Series Paper Size Tolerances:
ISO 216
specifies tolerances for the production of A series paper sizes as follows:
  • ±1.5 mm (0.06 in) for dimensions up to 150 mm (5.9 in)
  • ±2 mm (0.08 in) for lengths in the range 150 to 600 mm (5.9 to 23.6 in)
  • ±3 mm (0.12 in) for any dimension above 600 mm (23.6 in)
A Series Paper Sizes Defined:
The A series paper sizes are defined in ISO 216 by the following requirements:
  • The length divided by the width is 1.4142
  • The A0 size has an area of 1 square metre.
  • Each subsequent size A(n) is defined as A(n-1) cut in half parallel to its shorter sides.
  • The standard length and width of each size is rounded to the nearest millimetre.
Note: The last item is there because the root 2 aspect ratio doesn't always give a whole number.
