The SIS E0 paper size has dimensions of 878 mm x 1242 mm, making it the largest size in the Swedish SIS 01 47 11 standard's E series. With an area of approximately 1.09 square meters, the SIS E0 is quite a expansive format intended for oversized printing applications.
The SIS E0 does not have any widely known alternative names, since the Swedish extensions did not gain much international market adoption outside of niche uses. Within Sweden however, some refer to it informally as "stort E noll" meaning large E zero in Swedish.
Some common uses of SIS E0 paper include oversized engineering and architectural drawings, wide format posters or displays, and some types of packaging mockups. It can accommodate visual content at nearly 1 meter width. Despite offering substantial real estate though, the format can be unwieldy and expensive for everyday applications.
The SIS E0 was introduced as part of the Swedish standard's attempt to systematically extend paper sizes between the existing ISO A/B/C formats. By adding intermediary options like SIS E, it enabled more choices for scaling up or down. However, these Swedish extensions did not gain significant traction globally, in part due to the network effects and switching costs that reinforce ISO standard adoption. So SIS E0 remains a niche, mostly unused size today. But it still stands as an interesting endeavor to expand format options.
