A6 Cards: Size Guide
A6 cards: the size we print, and why
Every greetings card we print is A6: 105mm x 148mm folded, which is the size most people picture when they think of a card. It is an A4 sheet folded twice, half the size of A5, and it fits a C6 envelope exactly.
This page covers the measurements, the postage, the envelope, and when a bigger card is worth the extra money. Everything we make is drawn in house, printed in the UK on proper card stock and posted first class in a kraft envelope.

A6 card size, in numbers
- Folded: 105mm x 148mm, which is 4.1in x 5.8in.
- Flat, before folding: 148mm x 210mm, the same as A5.
- Envelope: C6, 114mm x 162mm, included with every card.
- Postage: a standard letter, so one first class stamp covers it.
- Half the size of an A5 card, a quarter of an A4 one.
When a bigger card is worth it
- A6 suits almost everything: birthdays, thank yous, congratulations, sympathy.
- A5 is worth it when several people are signing, like an office leaving card.
- Anything larger is usually a postage problem rather than a nicer gift.
- A postcard is the cheapest thing to post, if you only need a line or two.
