A5 leaflets give you more room for information than smaller formats while still remaining practical for handouts, counters, door drops and customer take-away material. Measuring 148 x 210mm, the size works well for designs that combine headings, images, prices and several sections of supporting text.
Upload your own print-ready artwork and choose from gloss, silk and uncoated paper stocks. A5 leaflets can be printed on one or both sides and supplied in portrait or landscape orientation, allowing the format to suit a wide range of promotional and informational designs.
A5 leaflets are well suited to content that needs more room than a compact A6 leaflet can provide. Common uses include menus, price lists, service information, product details, event programmes, local advertising, takeaway information and promotional campaigns.
The additional space allows you to divide information into clearer sections without reducing text or images too far. This can make A5 particularly useful when customers are likely to keep the leaflet for reference rather than simply read a short promotional message.
A5 provides a useful middle ground between compact leaflets and larger information sheets. There is enough room for detailed content while the finished piece remains easy to distribute, display and carry.
If your message is brief and only needs a small amount of supporting information, an A6 Leaflet may be more compact. For longer documents, larger price lists or information-heavy layouts, an A4 Leaflet may provide additional space.
A5 leaflets can be printed in portrait or landscape orientation. Portrait works well for menus, service lists, information sheets and designs where the content follows a clear top-to-bottom structure.
Landscape provides additional width for comparison tables, wider photographs, product ranges or information arranged across several columns. Your artwork should be supplied in the same orientation selected when ordering.
Single-sided printing works well for straightforward designs where all of the content fits comfortably on one face. Double-sided printing gives you extra space for services, prices, maps, opening hours, terms or other useful information without increasing the finished size.
A5 leaflets are available on gloss, silk and uncoated stocks. Gloss can suit colourful photography and promotional artwork, silk provides a smoother and more understated appearance, while uncoated paper offers a natural surface that can work well for information sheets, menus and designs that may need to be written on.
Select your paper stock, printed sides, orientation and required quantity before uploading your own print-ready artwork.

Eligible orders can also benefit from fast 24-hour dispatch, with a next-day delivery option for customers working to a tighter deadline.
A5 leaflets have a finished size of 148 x 210mm. Artwork should be prepared at the correct dimensions and include the required bleed beyond the finished edge wherever colours, photographs or graphics are intended to continue to the edge.
We require 2mm bleed on every edge, giving an overall artwork size of 152 x 214mm. Background colours and images that continue to the finished edge should extend fully into this additional area.
Important text, prices, logos and contact details should remain at least 3mm inside the finished edge. Keeping essential information within this safe area helps prevent it appearing too close to the trim after finishing.
Artwork should be supplied at the correct size, with photographs and other raster images ideally set at 300dpi at their final printed dimensions. This helps photographs, logos and detailed graphics remain clear when printed.
Where possible, prepare artwork using CMYK colour rather than RGB. Screens display colour in RGB, while commercial printing typically reproduces colour using CMYK. Because the two colour systems work differently, some colours may appear slightly different in print compared with how they look on screen.
A5 gives you more room than smaller leaflet formats, but the layout should still be checked at approximately its finished printed size. Use clear headings, comfortable spacing and readable text rather than filling every available part of the page.
If you are unsure about the finished dimensions, bleed or safe area, use the A5 leaflet artwork diagram above as a guide before uploading your file. Checking these details beforehand can help prevent unwanted white edges, cropped content or important information sitting too close to the finished trim.
