What is the size of a B2?

A B2 is 50 x 70,7 centimeters. This, of course, means it is exactly half of a B1. When speaking of papersizes, we always say millimeter instead of centimeter. We use mm to be more accurate of sizes. Therefore: the size of a B2 will be 500 x 707 mm. This size is a bit bigger than A2 and thus perfect for posters.
