Custom Flyer Printing: A5 vs A4 and Common Uses

Choose A5 for compact handouts, inserts, notices, event programmes and takeaway menus. Choose A4 when schedules, price lists or detailed information need more room. Both are flat printed sheets.

📏 The two sizes

SizeDimensionsBest for
A5148 × 210 mmStreet handouts, school notices, event programmes, promotions, takeaway menus
A4210 × 297 mmMenus, price lists, schedules, maps, noticeboard display
⚠️ Warning: set the artwork to the final ordered size. Scaling after design can change text size, image quality and margins. This is the flat-flyer service, not the folded-brochure service.

💡 How to choose

  • Handing out on the street or in bags: A5.
  • Displaying on a wall or noticeboard, or lots of detail: A4.
  • A4 costs more per piece because it uses more paper and print coverage.
