What size is A6?

The A6 size is the compact "pocket-size". An A6 sheet has a width of 10,5 cm and a height of 14,8 cm. This size is very practical: large enough to include some information, and small enough to easily put away in your pocket.

A6 compared to other sizes

An A6 is a quarter of an A4, the very common paper size that is generally used in home printers. All paper sizes in the A-series have a length-width ratio of √2:1. In other words, every size in this series is half the size of the size above it: when you fold an A4 down the middle, you get an A5. Fold that A5 again, and you get A6!

Paper weights of an A6 sheet

The weight of paper is expressed in grams per square meter. Above, you already read descriptions of paper using its weight, such as 170 grams glossy. This means that an A0 sheet (which has a size equal to one square meter) weighs 170 grams. As we know how the different sizes in the A-series relate to each other, we can easily calculate the weight for different paper types. Below you can find a table with these weights for our different paper types.
