A6 (105 × 148 mm) fits letterboxes and costs less per drop than A5. The trade-off is space. You cannot fit a menu and a price list. You can fit one strong offer and a reason to act now.
One side or two?
Single-sided: Cheapest. Headline, price, phone, small QR. Works for simple reminders ("Spring gutter clean, book by Friday").
Double-sided: Front sells, back proves. Front = offer + image. Back = three bullets + QR + phone. Most local campaigns need two sides.
What to cut
Remove anything that does not help a stranger decide in five seconds:
- Company founding year
- Long service lists (pick three)
- Multiple phone numbers (one main line)
If you need a full price grid, step up to A5.
Type and QR on small stock
Headlines should stay above 18 pt bold. Body text below 9 pt fails on kitchen counters under dim light.
Print QR codes at least 20 mm on A6. Put the code on the back if the front is image-heavy. Test a proof before a 5,000 run.
Door-drop specific checks
- No bleed into the fold if you bundle with other leaflets
- Postcode or area name in the headline ("Cork south side") so it feels local
- Expiry date on time-bound offers
