The best flyer size depends on how much information you need to communicate and how the piece will be distributed. A larger flyer gives you more design space, but a smaller flyer can be easier and cheaper to hand out in volume.
A6 flyer: compact and economical
A6 measures 105 × 148mm. It works well for vouchers, simple promotions, event handouts and high-volume distribution where the message is short and direct.
A5 flyer: the all-rounder
A5 measures 148 × 210mm and is one of the most versatile sizes. It is large enough for a headline, offer, images, contact information and a call to action without feeling bulky. Tuition centres, property agents, renovation companies and service businesses frequently use A5.
A4 flyer: more room for detail
A4 measures 210 × 297mm. Choose it when the flyer needs menus, timetables, packages, multiple images or more detailed explanatory copy. It can also be folded into brochure formats.
How to decide
If your message can be understood in a few seconds, A6 or A5 is often sufficient. If the reader needs to compare packages or read detailed information, A4 may be more appropriate. Always consider how the flyer will be carried, inserted, posted or distributed.
