About this portrait A2 5mm point-up triangle grid
A2 provides four times the area of A4 for technical drawings, classroom displays, and projects that need a large metric grid. Each equilateral triangle has 5mm sides and a perpendicular height of approximately 4.3 mm.
The point-up option starts the diagonal line pattern in the phase that places an upward-pointing triangle at the upper grid edge. The centered grid area is approximately 400 x 571.6 mm, with 80 x 132 side-width and row-height intervals forming about 21,120 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells.

Why use A2 5mm triangle paper?
A 5mm triangle grid creates a dense field for detailed tessellations, compact geometry, bead patterns, quilting plans, and fine technical sketches.
Geometry and tessellations
Use the three 60-degree line directions for equilateral triangles, rhombi, hexagons, symmetry exercises, transformations, and repeating geometric patterns.
Patterns, crafts, and maps
The 5mm triangles support quilting plans, bead and mosaic patterns, triangular maps, pixel-style designs, and technical sketches built from equal-sided units.
Point Up layout on A2
The point-up option starts the diagonal line pattern in the phase that places an upward-pointing triangle at the upper grid edge. The geometry stays the same, so choose the phase that makes the top of your drawing or pattern easiest to begin.
A2 vs A3 5mm triangle paper
Both formats preserve the same 5mm side length and point-up starting phase. Choose A2 for large plans, displays, and technical drawings; choose A3 when engineering sketches and larger diagrams better matches the printer or project.

Print A2 triangle grid paper at the correct scale
Use the PDF when the physical triangle dimensions matter. The side length and 60-degree geometry are preserved when the printer uses the correct paper and scale settings.
- 1
Load A2 paper
Load 420 x 594 mm paper and select A2 in the print dialog. A large-format printer may be required.
- 2
Use Actual Size
Select Actual Size or 100% scale. Turn off Fit, Shrink, and Scale to Page options.
- 3
Match portrait orientation
Keep the print dialog set to portrait so the grid is not rotated or reduced automatically.
- 4
Check one triangle side
Use a ruler to confirm that one horizontal triangle side measures 5mm.

FAQ
Answers specific to printing 5mm point-up triangle grid paper on A2.
What does 5mm triangle size mean?
The listed size is the length of every side of each equilateral triangle. Its perpendicular height is approximately 4.3 mm.
How many triangles fit on A2 paper?
This portrait template forms about 21,120 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells inside a centered 400 x 571.6 mm grid area.
What is the difference between point up and flat base?
Both options have identical triangle dimensions and line directions. Flat base shifts the first diagonal row by half a side, changing which phase begins at the upper edge of the grid.
Which print setting keeps the triangles true to size?
Select A2 paper, use Actual Size or 100% scale, and disable Fit to Page. Then verify that one horizontal side measures 5mm.
Should I use portrait or landscape A2 triangle paper?
Portrait works well for worksheets, vertical patterns, and notebook-style diagrams. Landscape provides more horizontal room for wide constructions, maps, quilts, and classroom demonstrations.
