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.

What is A8 size in mm?+
A8 is 52 × 74 mm (5.2 × 7.4 cm, or 2.05 × 2.91 inches). It's half the area of A7 and shares the 1:√2 aspect ratio of all ISO A-series paper sizes.
What is A8 used for?+
A8 is used for vouchers, price tags, raffle tickets, event ticket stubs, loyalty card inserts, and small coupons. Its compact size also makes it popular for gift tag applications when a slightly smaller tag than A7 is required.
What is A8 in pixels at 300 DPI?+
A8 at 300 DPI is 614 × 874 pixels. At 150 DPI it's 307 × 437 px. At 96 DPI it's 197 × 280 px. For print output always use 300 DPI; at 72 or 96 DPI images will look soft when printed at this small physical size.
How many A8 sheets fit on A4?+
Sixteen A8 sheets fit on one A4 sheet (4 columns × 4 rows). This makes A8 a very cost-effective format for print runs of vouchers, tickets, or tags — you get 16 items per A4 press sheet.
Is A8 the smallest ISO paper size?+
No — the A-series continues to A10 (26 × 37 mm), but A8 at 52 × 74 mm is about the smallest that stays practical to print and cut. Below it, text becomes unreadable and standard guillotines cannot hold tolerance across a stack.
