A5 is a popular size for greeting cards, and Royal Mail has specific guidelines for sending A5 cards in the UK. Here are the details:
Size: A5 is a standard size for greeting cards, measuring 148mm x 210mm (5.8 inches x 8.3 inches).
Weight: The weight of an A5 card depends on the material and thickness of the card, as well as the weight of any inserts or embellishments. As a rough guide, a standard A5 card with a lightweight paper or cardstock might weigh around 5-10 grams (0.18-0.35 oz).
Postage: For A5 cards, Royal Mail offers the following postage options:
- 1st Class Large Letter: This service is suitable for A5 cards weighing up to 100g (3.5 oz). The cost is £0.76 (as of 2022).

Additional Tips:
- Make sure to affix the correct postage to your A5 card, as underpaying can result in delays or additional fees.
- If your A5 card is particularly large or heavy, you may need to use a larger envelope or a different postage service, such as a parcel.
- Always check the Royal Mail website for the latest postage rates and guidelines, as these are subject to change.
