What you need to know
A6 is the standard size for postcards in most countries following ISO standards. It's also widely used for invitation cards (wedding, event, RSVP), small-format flyers, pocket reference cards, and recipe cards. At roughly 4×6 inches, it's a comfortable hand-held size.
An A4 sheet divided into four equal parts gives you four A6 pages. This makes A6 economical to print — you can gang four different A6 designs onto a single A4 sheet and cut them apart. Most print shops offer A6 as a standard product for postcards and flyers.
A6 is also the size of many pocket notebooks and mini journals. When designing for A6, the small format means you need to keep layouts simple — fewer elements, larger relative text sizes, and generous margins. At this size, 10pt body text is the minimum for comfortable reading.
