Format paper to international standards. Formats of the Anglo-American system of standards
The size of sheet paper is characterized by the width and length of the sheet. The sheet paper format is shown in centimeters and is recorded as an addition to the width of the sheet on the last sheet.
For sheet papers GOST 5773-90, the main formats are transferred:
60x84, 60x90, 70x90, 75x90, 70x100, 70x108, 84x108 div.
Due to the widespread stagnation of imported technology in the domestic printing industry, which transmits viscous paper in a uniform size and size, a wide range of formats have emerged that correspond to our needs. national system of standards ISO 216. Standard paper sizes, for example ISO A4, are widely expanded these days for everyone world This very principle of formats is defined by the international standard ISO 216:1975.
The principle of paper formats following the ISO standard
In the ISO standard, the ratio of sheet length to width in all formats is the same ratio of the square root from two to one (1.4142:1). In other words, the width and side of the side are measured one to one in the same way as the side and diagonal of the square. This is especially important for vikoristan in paper formats. If you place two such sides or cut such a side across, the result is that the side(s) with these same sides will be made up to the width.
The ISO format is based on the metric system. Setting to the square root of 2 does not make it possible to round the absolute values of the dozhin and side width in standard dozhin units, for example, in millimeters. Therefore, the area of the side is usually indicated in round units that are handy for nursing. So, the thickness of the paper should be specified in g/m², which will simplify the layout of the document weight, since the format has so many sides visible.
The diagram below describes the molding of paper sizes of the A series paper to the ISO 216 standard:
- The ratio of the ratio to the width in all formats is equal to the square root of two (~1.4142).
- A0 format has an area of 1 m².
- Format A1 – not A0, full cut. Otherwise, it seems that the height of A1 = the width of A0, the width of A1 = half the height of A0.
- All formats smaller than A1 appear in a similar format. If you cut format An parallel to its short side into two equal parts, you will get format A(n+1).
- Standard values for the height and width of paper formats are taken to be rounded to the whole value in millimeters.
Expands the scope of the ISO standard, the B series format. Also the C series is the most commonly used for selecting envelope formats.
- The width and height of the Bn format are geometrically intermediate between the An formats and the next great format A(n-1). For example, format B1 is the geometric mean between A1 and A0, which means that the coefficient of increasing format A1 to format B1 is the same as increasing the coefficient of format B1 to format A0.
- Similarly, the C series formats are geometrically intermediate between the A and B series of formats with the same number. For example, an unlit A4 size zipper fits comfortably in a C4 size envelope, which in turn fits comfortably in a B4 size envelope. If this card (A4) is folded down to A5 format, it can easily fit into a C5 format envelope, etc.
- Formats B and C, as a result, also follow the square root of two rule.
Note: Middle geometric two quantities x and y - the square root of your creation, (xy) 1/2, so arithmetic mean- this is half of this sum (x+y)/2. For example, the geometric mean of two numbers is 2 and 8 = 4 (so 4/2 = 8/4), and so is the arithmetic mean = 5 (so 5-2 = 8-5). The geometric mean of two numbers is also called average proportional.
The following table shows the dimensions of all ISO formats A, B and C. All dimensions are shown in millimeters:
| Series A format | Series B formats | C series formats | |||
| 4A0 | 1682×2378 | – | – | – | – |
| 2A0 | 1189×1682 | – | – | – | – |
| A0 | 841×1189 | B0 | 1000×1414 | C0 | 917×1297 |
| A1 | 594×841 | B1 | 707×1000 | C1 | 648×917 |
| A2 | 420×594 | B2 | 500×707 | C2 | 458×648 |
| A3 | 297×420 | B3 | 353×500 | C3 | 324×458 |
| A4 | 210×297 | B4 | 250×353 | C4 | 229×324 |

| A10 | 26×37 | B10 | 31×44 | C10 | 28×40 |
The permissible tolerance for dimensions is ±1.5 mm for dimensions up to 150 mm, ±2 for dimensions from 150 to 600 mm and ±3 mm for dimensions over 600 mm. Some standards similar to ISO 216 have tighter tolerances, for example, the DIN 476 standard imposes tolerances of: ±1 mm, ±1.5 mm, and ±2 mm for similar sizes.

The ISO standard covers a wide range of paper formats, however, not all are widely accepted in practice. Among all formats, format A4- Most important for everyday office work.
The axle is also used in accordance with ISO standard formats:
| Format | Apply vikoristannya |
| A0, A1 | armchair, poster |
| A1, A2 | lecture tears |
| A2, A3 | little ones, diagrams, big tables |
| A4 | sheets, magazines, questionnaires, catalogues, standard format for office printers and copying machines |
| A5 | notepads |
| A6 | leaflets |
| B5, A5, B6, A6 | books |
| C4, C5, C6 | envelopes for sheets of A4 (C4) format, double-folded A4 (C5) format, third-fold A4 (C6) format |
| B4, A3 | newspapers (supported by most copying machines up to A4 size) |
| B8, A8 | Game cards |
The advantages of the ISO standard are obvious for manufacturers of various office and copying and reproducing equipment:
Butt 1:
Please note that you are visiting a librarian and would like to obtain a copy of the article from an A4 magazine. To protect the paper, you want to copy the magazine spread on the side in A4 format. The spread takes up two sides of A4 or one side of A3 format. You set the copier's scaling factor to 71% (which is the square root of 0.5), or simply press the button A3→A4 As is the case in most current devices, the offending pages of the magazine will definitely be placed on the resulting page in A4 format. The skin has been changed in A5 format. There is no need to waste your original paper, the text will not be cropped, and there is no need to experiment to determine the scaling factor. The same principle applies to B5 or A5 formats.
Copy machines that print ISO standard paper require special keys for the following scaling factors:
| 71% | sqrt(0.5) | A3 → A4 |
| 84% | sqrt(sqrt(0.5)) | B4 → A4 |
| 119% | sqrt(sqrt(2)) | A4 → B4 (also B5 → A4) |

Butt 2:
When you are preparing a shipment, you need to know what it is about in order to ensure the delivery is ready. You can easily calculate the dimensions of the canopies in the ISO A series format, for example. The primary paper for printers and laser printers has a thickness of 80 g/m². A page in A0 format has an area of 1 m², and all the front smaller pages in the A series, as we already know, are twice as small as the front. Therefore, the area of the arch in A4 format is 1/16 m² and the thickness of the skin side is equal to 5 grams. If you allow the weight of an envelope in C4 format to be equal to 20 g (with a small margin), then it is not important to wrap it, but in order not to exceed the limit of 100 g, you can put no more than 16 A4 paper sheets into a sheet.
Packing lots of books, newspapers and paper packages is just as easy. You are unlikely to often have the opportunity to deal with such problems, but they miraculously demonstrate the robustness of a different format system.
Using paper in standard formats will save you money and make working with paper documents easier. For example, if all scientific journals favored the ISO format, libraries would have to favor more than a few different types of palette devices. The police could work exactly for a specific format, and so much valuable space on the racks would not be wasted. The ISO format is actually used in many other situations, even more so for other purposes: German passports are issued in A7 format, passports from the European Union and the United States (where the metric system is not accepted) are issued in B7 format. In some countries (in Germany, for example), the size of the toilet paper is size A6.
For offset and other types of printing, a much larger format paper is used. This is due to the fact that the robotic machines require additional paperwork for technological needs. This field is intended for robotic gripping of the Drukhar machine, placement of control scales and cut marks and folding. For finished products, these technological fields are cut off and the product appears in a standard format. Most popular formats:
620 x 940 mm, 720 x 1040 mm, 720 x 1020 mm - printed paper and cardboard;
470 x 650 mm – dozens of types of branded papers;
700 x 1000 mm - most decorative papers and cardboards;
430 x 610, 500 x 700, 700 x 1000 - self-adhesive materials.
Rozhrakhunok sizes
Regardless of those paper formats to the ISO standard, there may be a standardized width and width set in millimeters, dimensions can also be expressed in reference values using the following formulas:
Other liners length/width
In some cases, the required paper with an additional view 1:sqrt(2) will be adjusted to the width. For example, for stickers, receipts and other purposes. Such formats should be cut as similar to the standard series, divided into 3, 4 or 8 pieces parallel to the short side of the sheet. Thus, it turns out that the ratio between the long side and the short side is greater than the square root of the two. Below is an example of the following formats:
| 1/3 A4 | 99×210 |
| 1/4 A4 | 74×210 |
| 1/8 A4 | 37×210 |
| 1/4 A3 | 105×297 |
| 1/3 A5 | 70×148 |
Format 1/3 A4 (99 × 210 mm) is printed as a short sheet of letterhead, which is inserted without folding into a DL format envelope.
Envelope formats
For postal shipments, ISO 269 and DIN 678 standards define the following envelope formats:
| Format | Dimensions, mm | Size together |
| C6 | 114×162 | A4, double folds = A6 |
| D.L. | 110×220 | A4, folds utrichi = 1/3 A4 |
| C6/C5 | 114×229 | A4, folds utrichi = 1/3 A4 |
| C5 | 162×229 | A4 half-fold = A5 |
| C4 | 229×324 | A4 |
| C3 | 324×458 | A3 |
| B6 | 125×176 | Envelope size C6 |
| B5 | 176×250 | Envelope size C5 |
| B4 | 250×353 | Envelope size C4 |
| E4 | 280×400 | B4 |
The DL format is widely used for business correspondence. The ISO standard deciphers the abbreviation DL as Dimension Lengthwise, which means later size. This size of a piece falls out of the ISO system and the equipment's distributors cause dissatisfaction, which is too small for reliable automatic insertion of correspondence. Therefore, the DIN 678 standard is presented as an alternative to the DL converter format to the C6/C5 format.
Envelopes with a window, A4 letterhead, folded line marks (folded paper) and standard types of letterhead layout
Unfortunately, there is no international standard for envelope formats and similar standards for letterhead layout. Therefore, in different countries there are official standards that do not correspond to each other, for example:
- Russia:
In our country, the size of envelopes, all writing on them, the size and location of the clear window are regulated by GOST ( GOST R 51506-99). The rules for preparing and storing documents are regulated by GOST R. 6.30 – 97 “Unified documentation systems. Unified systems of organizational and procedural documentation. Possible before processing documents”, which establishes an outline form of organizational and procedural documents, as well as a graphic model or a diagram of the document. The explanatory form establishes the dimensions of the fields, the arrangement of permanent and permanent details. GOST R. 6.30 - 97 also establishes a warehouse of details of organizational and administrative documents and their distribution on the document form, rules for registering details, possible forms and the procedure for preparation, etc. - Nіmechchina:
The DIN 680 standard stipulates that the gap for the address must be 90 × 45 mm in size and the left edge must have a gap of 20 mm from the left edge of the envelope. The bottom edge of the opening for envelopes in C6, DL and C6/C5 formats is located 15 mm above the bottom edge of the envelope. The top edge of the window of C4 format envelopes is located at a distance of 27 or 45 mm from the top edge of the envelope. The DIN 676 standard does not provide any special considerations for the layout of the letterhead, which does not include the area where the letterhead elements are placed. So the address field, visible at the front of the envelope, is supposed to be 85 × 45 mm in size, with a margin of no more than 5 mm, the top of the window may be overlaid with a different font of the address of the sender, and a 40 mm frame is used for writing the address of the owner. This field can be expanded at a distance of 20 mm from the left edge of the sheet and at a distance of 27 or 45 mm from the top. Applying folding marks to the sheet allows you to correctly fold the sheet into an envelope format C6, DL or C6/C5 with a window. - UK:
BS 4264 stipulates that the gap on DL format envelopes must be 93x39mm. Its upper left corner is liable to expand at a distance of 20 mm from the left and 53 mm from the upper edge of the envelope. BS 1808 specifies the size of the address field on a form as 80x30 mm. Its upper left corner must extend at a distance of 20 mm from the left side and 51 mm from the upper edge of the side. The address field can be spread out in the middle of an area measuring 91 × 48 mm, the top corner of which is located at a distance of 20 mm from the left side and 42 mm from the top edge of the page. In other words, an area of 9 mm at the bottom, as well as 11 mm on the right of the address field is clean. - Switzerland:
Window size 100×45 mm. It should be located at a distance of 12 mm either from the right or from the left edge. Stand up to the top edge – 48 mm (for C6 and C5/C6 formats) or 52 mm (for C5). The layout standard for forms SNV 010130 is addressed to the address in a field measuring 90 × 40 mm at a distance of 45 mm from the top and 8 mm from the right edge of the page in A4 format. - Finland:
The SFS 2488:1994 standard stipulates that for the E series envelopes the opening size should be 90×30 mm, and for the C series – 95×35 mm. In any case, the left entrance is 18 mm, the top one is 40 mm. Standards SFS 2487:2000 (“Layout of Business Documents”) and SFS 2486:1999 (“Layout of Forms”) require that the area of the address field is 76.2 × 25.4 mm and is laid out on a spacer of 20 mm left-handed і 10±1 mm 2. animal (25.4 mm is where information about the director is located).
The ISO 11180 standard and the standards of the Worldwide Postal Address stipulate that postal addresses may consist of no more than 6 rows of 30 characters each. It is important to note that the maximum area of the address field is 76.2×38.1 mm with the same symbols as a standard typewriter with a width of 2.54 mm (1/10") and a space between rows of 6.35 mm (1/4").
Note: The Worldwide Postal Order is a specialized UN institution that establishes international standards for postal services. The Postal Service provides technical assistance and promotes the development of advanced training among postal workers.
Methods for folding formats up to A4
The DIN 824 standard describes the folding method for formats A0, A1, etc. up to A4 format:
This technique allows you to create a 20 mm field of heat for the palette and the leaf of the weaves in the paper can be flared and flared, and the field that is located in the lower right fold of the sheet (with the main inscription armchair, for example) appears on the surface of the burnt sheet in the correct direction false.
Odd paper formats
Forms of the A and B series, which are described below, are the so-called cut formats, or the formats of ready-made products, which are used to prepare the final koristuvach (reader). The ISO standard has the names RA and SRA. (The abbreviation SRA means "supplementary raw format A" - English "supplementary raw format A"). These formats are only three times larger than similar formats in the A series. The sheets of these formats are cut to end format after other post-processing (lamination, embossing, cutting, folding, etc.) ISO format RA0 has an area of 1.05 m², ISO SRA0 format – 1.15 m². These formats are also subject to the square root of two and half-area rules, and the dimensions of the main formats are rounded to the nearest centimeter.
| R.A. | SRA | ||
| RA0 | 860×1220 | SRA0 | 900×1280 |
| RA1 | 610×860 | SRA1 | 640×900 |
| RA2 | 430×610 | SRA2 | 450×640 |
| RA3 | 305×430 | SRA3 | 320×450 |
| RA4 | 215×305 | SRA4 | 225×320 |
The width of the RA and SRA formats is also determined as the width of the paper supplied in rolls.
ID cards
The ISO 7810 standard regulates the following formats of identification cards (ID):
- ID-1 = 85.60 × 53.98 mm (= 3.370 × 2.125")
- ID-2 = 105×74 mm (= A7)
- ID-3 = 125×88 mm (= B7)
ID-1 is the widest format for bank cards (thickness 0.76 mm), and is also widely used as a format for business cards and credit cards. The boxes are suitable for the A8 business card format (74 × 52 mm). B7 (ID-3) – standard format for passports. ID-1 has been adopted as a standard for testing water in the countries of the European Union (including in Russia).
Old American standards for paper formats
In the USA, Canada and parts of Mexico, the ISO standard has not yet been expanded. In the USA, formats are used everywhere: “Letter” (216 × 279 mm), “Legal” (216 × 356 mm), “utive” (190 × 254 mm) and “Ledger/Tabloid” (279 × 432 mm). The same applies to the American National Standard for technical documentation (American National Standard) ANSI/ASME Y14.1 series A (216 × 279 mm), B (279 × 432 mm), C (432 × 559 mm), D (559 × 864 mm )), E (864 × 1118 mm), as well as other system-by-system formats for various special applications. "Letter", "Legal", "Tabloid" and other formats are regulated by the American National Standard ANSI X3.151-1987.
In the American standard, at the ISO level, there are two different widths of the same format up to the width - 17/11 = 1.545 and 22/17 = 1.294. However, with the help of these containers, it is impossible to remove a larger format from a smaller one, and it’s difficult to add it manually.
The new American standard ANSI/ASME Y14.1m-1995 describes a subset of ISO A0-A4 formats for technical documentation in the United States. The armchair depends on the fixed scale (for example, 1:100 - 1 m by 1 cm), so it is extremely important to transfer the armchair from the American format to the standard one. As a result, international American companies are increasingly ignoring the ANSI Y14.1 format and relying on the ISO format for official technical documentation.
Canadian standard CAN 2-9.60M "Format Paper for Correspondence" defines six formats: P1 (560 × 860 mm), P2 (430 × 560 mm), P3 (280 × 430 mm), P4 (215 × 280 mm), P5 (140 × 215 mm) and P6 (107 × 140 mm). In fact, they repeat the American standard and are only rounded to half a centimeter (P4 ~ Letter, P3 ~ Ledger).

Good day to everyone who is not entirely dear to the life of the blog site and, especially, to the people who have visited for information. For the sake of your success, I would like to continue reading on this blog. Today I want to tell you everything I know about format the paper, what are the dimensions and their standards. Wait a minute, every person needs to know the paper size and format, I’m already talking about artists and designers.
Let's first figure out what happens format the paper. The world's most advanced format is in accordance with the ISO 216 standard according to GOST 5773-90.
Mustache format the paper However, behind the ISO 216 standard, there are new aspects. To put it in simple words, the half of the arch of the A1 format is equal to half the width of the A0 arch, and to explain it even simpler, then look at the little ones below and you will understand all that I am trying to explain.
Let me take a look at how paper formats are often confused:
Arkush A0 and A1- armchair, cry and poster.
Arkush A3, B4 and A2- armchair, displays, newspapers
Arkush A4- office paper, documents, sheets, forms, magazines, catalogues, advertising materials, printed materials for printers and copiers.
Arkush A5- vital leaflets, identification cards, notebooks, notepads, leaflets, forms, advertising materials.
ArkushB5, A5, B6, A6- Books, booklets, brochures, postal leaflets.
Format C4, C5, C6- envelopes for sheets of arched paper in A4 format: not folded (C4), double folded (C5), double folded (C6).
C series formats- this is the size of the cutouts for postal envelopes so that they fit the A series paper format.

A0
Serie A
The largest standard size, A0, has an area of one square meter and a side ratio of 1:√2. The long side of the sheet has a length of approximately 1.189 m, the length of the short side is the opposite value of the designated value, approximately 0.841 m, and the addition of these two sides gives an area of 1 m².
Size A1 comes from cutting sheet A0 from the short side into two equal parts, thus saving the wear on the sides. This makes it possible to select one standard paper format from another, which was impossible with the different traditional sizes. Preserving aspect ratio also means that when scaling an image from one format to another, the proportions of the image are preserved.
Serie B
Besides the series of formats A, there is also a smaller width of the format of the series B. The sheets of the format B are printed on the same side as the series A. Apart from B0, the width is 1 m. The area of the sheets of the series B is the geometric middle m two front sheets of series A. For example, B1 The size is between A0 and A1, with an area of 0.71 m². As a result, B0 has dimensions of 1000 × 1414 mm. Series B may not be reviewed in the office, but there are a number of special formats, for example, these formats produce a lot of posters, B5 is often reviewed for books, and these formats are also available for envelopes and passports.
Series C
Series C is used only for envelopes and is designated ISO 269. The sheet area of Series C is the same as the geometric middle sheet of Series A and B with the same number. For example, area C4 is the geometric middle of the area of sheets A4 and, in this case, C4 is a little larger than A4, and B4 is a little larger than C4. The practical thing is that an A4 sheet can be inserted into a C4 envelope, and a C4 envelope can be inserted into a thick B4 envelope.
C6 162 x 114 mm – the main postal format of the Radian period envelope.
Pivnichnoamerican standard
The American formats that are currently being developed are based on traditionally developed dimensions and are designated by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The most frequently used formats in everyday activities are “Letter”, “Legal” and “Ledger”/“Tabloid”. Dzherelo format “Letter” (8.5×11 inches or 216×279 mm) is becoming a tradition and is definitely not familiar.
Old American paper formats meet government standards in the USA and the Philippines (prote the Philippine “legal” - 8.5×13 inches, which is subdivided into the American “legal”), and are also widely used in Canada, Mexico and other lands of New America.
In addition to the standard A4 paper, which is a geometric subset of the range of paper formats based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard, the similarity in the dimensions of the “Letter” paper follows tradition It is not clearly documented. The American Wood and Paper Association asserts that the size is similar to the days of hand-weaving paper, and that the 11-inch double side is one-quarter of the “average maximum double of the hands of a proven robot worker.” However, this does not explain the width or alignment of the sides.

To match the format of the book block, it is necessary to divide the significant parts of the arch (/16, /32, etc.) into two largest multipliers (16 = 4x4, 32 = 4x8), then divide the larger side of the arch into a larger multiplier, and the smaller side into a smaller multiplier .
For example: 84x108/32 => 32=4x8 => x => 21x13.5
If you now remove 1 cm from the larger value, and 0.5 cm from the smaller value, the format of the block is removed after cropping (to view the landscape release, remove 1 cm from the smaller value, and 0.5 from the larger value).

The format of the document is the size of the book block (beyond the width) after the three-sided cut.
The format is determined by the type and type of publication, its volume, circulation, the nature of the illustrative material contained in it, the reader's preferences, the use of minds, etc.
The term “book format” originated, obviously, in the era of machine printing, when there was a need to unify book sizes for mass production and commodity exchange.
The results of the extinction of dozens of Russian books from the 11th to 13th centuries showed that there were no stable sizes of them. The format of the upcoming book was chosen by rewriting, coming from its significance, as well as being consistent with the tastes of the deputy and the power of the land. The altar gospels, richly illustrated and large books (prologues, collections, etc.) were, of course, of great size (the height of a book block is over 30 inches). Such, for example, are the most recent manuscripts of the book: Ostromir’s Gospel (1056-1057), Collection of Svyatoslav (1073), twelve volumes of “Great Menaions of the Fathers” (1547-1563), written under the initiative of Metropolitan Makar ія, ін ін Books, recognized for , little equalized small formats were distinguished by the simplicity of the external and internal appearance. An example of a similar type of book can be the Arkhangelsk Gospel (1092) - a cheap book, rewritten, perhaps, for the parish church of a rural village (format - small four).
From the beginning of the use of paper for the preparation of books, the size of the paper sheet was used as the basis for their formats. However, there were no firmly installed paper formats, as before, and there were fragments of paper lying around the size of the mesh for extracting the paper sheet, which were installed by the paper printer for a long time. Over the years, maistri-gamantsi have been divided into two main sizes: the smallest – 30x50 cm; the larger one is 50x70, which, however, was definitely not trimmed.
To match the format of Russian handwritten books, the unit vimiru was used - ten (Persian dest - right hand).

Popular formats. Dimensions cm, mm, inches. Size table.
The table with the sizes of paper bottles of popular formats A, B, C in millimeters, centimeters and inches is presented on the sides:
Additional background information and technical features of paper formats are below.
Format A, B, C
There are three popular paper size formats in the world - A, B, C (ISO 216 standard). The dimensions of these formats are ensured when preparing paper, paper for printers and faxes, envelopes, etc. The skin format has a range of sizes for paper cups from 0 to 10 (sizes): A0-A10, B0-B10, C0-C10. Size 0 means the largest sheet size, size 10 is the smallest, meaning A1 is smaller than A0. To compare the different standard sizes of these formats with each other, then format A is the smallest, C is the middle, B is the largest. Dimensions for format Z are taken as the geometrical average of A and B, so that the square root of the multiplication of dimensions A × B. Format Z creations by marking so that the arches of format A (document) fit into the arches of format C (envelope). Together: A0-A10< C0-C10 < B0-B10.
The relationship between the sides of the arcus of the skin format with the singing part of the abduction is expressed as: 1: 1.4142. The size of the front arch of the paper in the same format is twice as small as the front: the height of the front size is equal to the width of the front one, the width of the front one is ½ the height of the front one. For example, A5 is not folded on top of A4, fragments [height of A5 = width of A4] and [width of A5 = ½ height of A4]. In this way, knowing the size of a sheet of any standard size, you can adjust the dimensions of others without going to the table.
According to the standard, the largest sheet is format B0 (1000 × 1414 mm), the smallest sheet is format A10 (26 × 37 mm), which can be adjusted to the size of the current stamp. The widest format available is A4.
Abductions
ISO 216 indicates the permissible deviations in paper dimensions at the time of production:
- ±1.5 mm (0.06 inch) for sheets with sides no larger than 150 mm (5.9 inch)
- ±2 mm (0.08 in) for sheets with sides 150 to 600 mm (5.9 to 23.6 in)
- ±3 mm (0.12 inch) for sheets with sides over 600 mm (23.6 inch)
Other formats
Format A, U, Z Use paper formats 2A0, 4A0, A3+, RA, SRA, C7/6, DL and others.
The 2A0 and 4A0 formats are not described in the ISO 216 standard, or in the DIN 476 standard (Namechchina). Formats 2A0 and 4A0 mean sheets larger in size than A0. The table shows the dimensions.
Available in A3+ format, sizes not specified in the ISO 216 standard. The format is often used in printing. It measures 329x483 mm or 12.9x19 inches. The ratio of the sides is up to 1:1.468, which is subdivided from the standard 1:1.4142
There are formats that are rarely used, we overwrite them: A2 Extra, A3 Extra, A3 Super, Super A3, A4 Extra, A4 Super, Super A4, A4 Long, F4, SO B5 Extra, A5 Extra and others.
The printing industry has the following formats: RA (0-4), SRA (0-4), C7/6, DL.

Paper B format is specified by the ISO 216 standard in this way.
Paper format B was created in order to cover all dimensions that were not covered by format A, as well as vicoristic proportions based on the square root of the number 2. Format B (N) is the average geometric size between A (N) that size A (N-1). The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of the addition of two numbers.
This system gives great power to increase or change documents - format A (N) to B (N) as well as B (N) to A (N-1).
