Neither too small nor too imposing, it is suitable for a wide range of uses, from communication to technical displays.
A1 format dimensions and features
Derived from ISO 216, the A1 format corresponds to half a sheet of A0 paper. It is twice as large as an A2 and four times as large as an A3.
This size is ideal for printing visuals that need to be legible from a distance, while remaining easy to handle or transport.
Exact dimensions: 594 mm x 841 mm (or 59.4 cm x 84.1 cm).
