The A5 size is a commonly used paper size for writing paper, stationery, cards and documents. The size A5 reflects the size of a single sheet of paper.
There are different standards for the sizes of paper. A5 size is part of the A standard. The A standard is the international standard. The A standard is part of the “A”, “B” and “C” series of paper sizes of the ISO 216. The ISO 216 is the international standard for a sheet of paper. North America and parts of Central and South America use other paper sizes such as “Letter” and “Legal”.
Proportions of the A5 size compared to other sizes.
An A5 has a surface area of 148 x 210 millimetres. In inches, this is 5.8 x 8.3 inches. An A5 paper fits in a C4 envelope without having to fold the paper. When you fold an A5 paper, it works in a C6 envelope.
With the A series of paper sizes, the next size is twice as large or small. The ratio of the A-standard between the long and short side is 2:1. If you fold a sheet of paper horizontally into two equal pieces, two pieces with the same ratio are created. An A5 is half the size of an A4. When you fold an A5, you have twice an A6.
