mellanstorlek

Mellanstorlek is a Swedish noun meaning the size between small and large, or more generally, medium size. The term is formed from mellan, meaning between, and storlek, meaning size. It is used to describe physical dimensions, items, or organizational size without specifying exact measurements. In some contexts it can be translated as “medium size” or, in clothing charts, correspond to the general idea of size M, though the exact measurement varies by brand and product category.

In consumer contexts, mellanstorlek is common in retail to indicate a middle option alongside small and large. For clothing, many brands use labels like S, M, L or numeric measurements, but mellanstorlek can appear in catalogs or product descriptions to denote a non-numeric, middle category or to maintain regionally neutral terminology. The term is versatile and can apply to objects such as bags, appliances, or packaging, where a trio or more of size options is offered.

In business language, mellanstorlek describes the size category of entities, for example mellanstort företag (a medium-sized enterprise). In Swedish usage, both mellanstort and medelstort are used to convey the idea of “medium-sized,” depending on context and regulatory definitions.

Overall, mellanstorlek is a general, neutral descriptor for a middle-range size. Exact dimensions are not standardized and are defined by brand, product category, or regulatory guidelines, making it a flexible term across fields such as fashion, design, and industry.
