A8 Paper Size
A8 is 52 × 74 mm (2.05 × 2.91 in) — half an A7 and the smallest commonly printed ISO A-series size. At 300 DPI it's 614 × 874 pixels. Used for vouchers, price tags, raffle tickets, and small promotional inserts. Sixteen A8 cards fit on a single A4 sheet, making it one of the most cost-efficient formats for short-run print.

Design Tips
- →Sixteen A8 cards impose on one A4 sheet in a 4×4 grid — set 2 mm gutters and include crop marks for clean trimming.
- →Keep text to an absolute minimum: one line of headline copy, a number or barcode, and your logo. At 52 × 74 mm, body paragraphs become unreadable.
- →Use a 2 mm bleed on all edges and keep critical content at least 3 mm from the trim edge — small-format cutting has less tolerance than larger sheets.
- →QR codes on A8 should be at least 15 × 15 mm to scan reliably from a phone at arm's length.
