A4 landscape triangle grid paper
This A4 landscape template uses equilateral triangles with 6mm sides and a flat-base starting phase created by shifting the first diagonal row on a 210 x 297 mm page. It is ready to download, print, or customize.
Template details
A4 is the international standard for everyday home, school, and office printing and is the most compatible metric paper choice. Each equilateral triangle has 6mm sides and a perpendicular height of approximately 5.2 mm.
The flat-base option shifts the first diagonal row by half a triangle side, changing the phase visible at the upper grid edge. The centered grid area is approximately 276 x 187.1 mm, with 46 x 36 side-width and row-height intervals forming about 3,312 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells.
A 6mm triangle grid balances drawing detail and writing room for general geometry, pattern design, maps, diagrams, and classroom activities.
Use the three 60-degree line directions for equilateral triangles, rhombi, hexagons, symmetry exercises, transformations, and repeating geometric patterns.
The 6mm triangles support quilting plans, bead and mosaic patterns, triangular maps, pixel-style designs, and technical sketches built from equal-sided units.
The flat-base option shifts the first diagonal row by half a triangle side, changing the phase visible 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.
Both formats preserve the same 6mm side length and flat-base starting phase. Choose A4 for international home, school, and office printing; choose US Letter when us home, school, and office printing better matches the printer or project.

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.
Load 210 x 297 mm paper and select A4 as the paper size in the print dialog.
Select Actual Size or 100% scale. Turn off Fit, Shrink, and Scale to Page options.
Keep the print dialog set to landscape so the grid is not rotated or reduced automatically.
Use a ruler to confirm that one horizontal triangle side measures 6mm.
12 ready-made templates are available for this paper size.

Answers specific to printing 6mm flat-base triangle grid paper on A4.
The listed size is the length of every side of each equilateral triangle. Its perpendicular height is approximately 5.2 mm.
This landscape template forms about 3,312 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells inside a centered 276 x 187.1 mm grid area.
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.
Select A4 paper, use Actual Size or 100% scale, and disable Fit to Page. Then verify that one horizontal side measures 6mm.
Portrait works well for worksheets, vertical patterns, and notebook-style diagrams. Landscape provides more horizontal room for wide constructions, maps, quilts, and classroom demonstrations.
