The P4 paper size has dimensions of 215mm x 280mm, which converts to 8.5 inches x 11 inches. This gives the P4 size a total surface area of 0.06 square meters. The P4 paper size was defined under the Canadian CAN 2-9.60M paper standard and corresponds closely to the commonly used American letter paper size. The P4 size has also occasionally been referred to as PA4. With its measurements equaling the ANSI letter dimensions, the P4 paper offers compatibility and convenience for general document creation, correspondence, record keeping, brochures, advertising, graphic design, and more everyday print uses. The standardized North American letter size has become ubiquitous for office and commercial applications. The similarity provides consistency for Canadian printing and documentation needs compatible with the American standard. Overall, the conveniently corresponding P4 Canadian paper format serves as a broadly used size for letters, reports, plans and various other printed materials.
