When should you choose A6?

A6 is a compact handout size. It works well for vouchers, invites, simple promotions, appointment offers, product inserts and campaigns built around one clear message.

When is A5 better?

A5 gives you roughly twice the area of A6, making it easier to combine a headline, images, offer details, contact information and a call to action without making the layout feel crowded.

Which is easier to hand out?

Both are portable, but A6 is especially convenient for quick handouts and compact counter displays. A5 feels more substantial and gives the recipient more visual information at a glance.

Which works better for menus or service lists?

A5 is usually the safer choice when you have several items, prices or service categories to show. A6 can work when the menu or offer is deliberately short.

Think about reading distance

Flyers are generally designed for close viewing. If the piece also needs to attract attention from farther away, a larger A4 or A3 format may be more suitable.

Keep the design focused

Whichever size you choose, use one strong headline, a clear visual hierarchy and an obvious next step. Avoid shrinking text just to fit more information onto a smaller page.
