Belonging to the ISO A series, the Hungary paper size is a unique and intriguing format. This particular size adheres strictly to the international standard, ISO 216, which governs paper sizes worldwide. The ISO A series is renowned for its logical and efficient structure, with each subsequent size being half of the previous one when folded parallel to the shorter sides.
The Hungary paper size stands out due to its specific dimensions. It's not just a random selection; it's based on an aspect ratio of √2:1, like all other sizes in the ISO A series. This unique ratio ensures that two sheets of the next smaller size placed side by side are equal to one sheet of the given size.
