4A0 & 2A0 - The DIN 476 Oversize Formats


The paper sizes bigger than A0, 4A0 & 2A0, aren't formally 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. 2A0 is sometimes described as A00, however this naming convention is not
used for 4A0.

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: For reference the last item is there because the root 2 aspect ratio doesn't
always give a whole number.

International Usage
The A series paper sizes are now in common use throughout the world apart from in
the US, Canada and parts of Mexico. The A4 size has become the standard business
letter size in English speaking countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the
UK, that formerly used British Imperial sizes. In Europe the A paper sizes were
adopted as the formal standard in the mid 20th century and from there they spread
across the globe.

RA & SRA Untrimmed Sizes


RA & SRA sizes define untrimmed paper for commercial printing. These formats are
designed to allow for ink bleed during the printing process so that the paper can
then be trimmed to one of the A series sizes. Click here for more on RA & SRA
sizes.

A3+ (Super A3)


A3 Plus, or Super A3 as it is sometimes known, is not an ISO 216 paper size. It has
dimensions of 329mm x 483mm (13" x 19"). This gives it an aspect ratio of 1:1.468
rather than the 1:root 2 aspect ratio of the ISO series paper sizes. In actuality
the A3+/Super A3 name is quite misleading as this paper size is known as B+ or
Super B in the United States and is ANSI B with a 1" margin for print bleed.
