A6 Invitations

Set the tone for your event with professionally printed A6 invitations from ABC Service. This is a flat portrait invitation measuring 105×148mm, giving you a practical canvas for the event details your guests need without making the stationery awkward to handle or post.

A6 invitations are suitable for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, graduations, christenings, private celebrations, corporate events, open days and community occasions. You can supply your own print-ready artwork or speak to our graphic design team about creating a suitable design.

What size is an A6 invitation?

The finished A6 invitation measures 105mm wide by 148mm high. It is a single flat portrait sheet rather than a folded greeting card. Artwork should be supplied at 111×154mm, including 3mm bleed on every edge.

The A6 format gives you room to include:

• Event name and invitation wording
• Date and start time
• Venue and location details
• RSVP information and contact details
• Dress code, directions or practical notes
• A logo, photograph or supporting illustration

A well-planned A6 invitation gives guests the information they need while making the occasion feel considered from the very first contact.

When are A6 invitations useful?

A6 is a familiar portrait format that works well for both personal and professional events. It is large enough for clear event information, but compact enough to place in an envelope, hand out at a venue or display on a noticeboard.

Common uses include:

• Wedding and civil ceremony invitations
• Birthday and milestone celebrations
• Anniversary and engagement parties
• Christening and family events
• Graduation celebrations
• Corporate events and networking occasions
• Business open days and launches
• Community events and fundraising activities
• Private party invitations
• Guest information or event inserts

Choose the invitation media

GSM means grams per square metre and is a simple way to describe the weight of paper or card. The surface also affects the appearance, texture and writing experience of the finished invitation.

The live product page lists these media options:

• 130gsm Silk
• 150gsm Silk
• 250gsm Silk
• 350gsm Silk
• 120gsm Uncoated
• 300gsm Uncoated
• 140gsm Gesso
• 300gsm Gesso
• 400gsm Artboard
• 280gsm Kraft
• 770gsm Magnetic

Silk media can suit invitations with photographs, fine detail or strong colour. Uncoated media offers a more natural surface, while Kraft brings a warmer craft-led appearance. Heavier options can give the invitation a more substantial feel. Check the live product options to confirm which media and finishes can be combined for your order.

Lamination and envelope options

Depending on the selected media and order requirements, you can choose No Laminate, Matt Laminate, Gloss Laminate or Soft Touch Laminate.

• No Laminate keeps the chosen paper or card surface as supplied.
• Matt Laminate gives a softer, lower-shine surface.
• Gloss Laminate creates a more reflective finish that can make colours appear particularly vivid.
• Soft Touch Laminate provides a smooth, tactile surface.

You can select no envelopes, white envelopes or Kraft envelopes. White envelopes provide a clean, traditional presentation, while Kraft can complement natural, handmade or rustic event styling. Check the live options for availability with your selected media.

Prepare your A6 invitation artwork

Set the artwork document to 111×154mm including 3mm bleed on every edge. The finished invitation remains 105×148mm after trimming. Bleed is the extra artwork around the edge that allows the printed sheet to be cut cleanly without unwanted white borders.

Before uploading your artwork:

• Use portrait orientation at 111×154mm including bleed.
• Keep essential text and design details inside a safe margin.
• Check every date, time, name, address and RSVP detail carefully.
• Use clear type sizes and strong contrast for practical event information.
• Extend background colours and images into the bleed area.
• Plan the front side and reverse side if choosing double-sided printing.
• Keep logos, contact details and borders safely away from the trimmed edge.
• Export the file in the format requested by the live product instructions.

This product is a single flat invitation. The artwork should be prepared as one finished portrait sheet for single-sided printing, or as front and reverse artwork for double-sided printing.

Single-sided or double-sided printing

Single-sided printing keeps all event information and artwork on one side. It can work well for a straightforward invitation, especially where the reverse is left blank.

Double-sided printing gives you another surface for directions, a timeline, accommodation information, RSVP instructions, sponsor details or a continuation of the design. Make sure the front and reverse files are supplied in the correct order and orientation.

Ordering multiple designs

The ordering system cannot detect multi-page documents automatically. If you upload two or more pages or designs, choose the correct quantity for the number of finished invitations required.

Where the live options allow it, multiple designs can be included within an order quantity. This may be useful for different guest versions, separate event dates, or a coordinated stationery range.

Despatch and collection options

The live product page lists 3–5 working days, 2 working days and 1 working day despatch choices. Availability may depend on the selected media, finish, quantity and artwork requirements, so check the current product options before ordering.
