A6 Wiro Bound Books Printing
Pocket-sized perfection. Our custom A6 wiro bound books (105 x 148mm) are the ultimate portable print solution.
Measuring exactly one-quarter the size of a standard A4 sheet, the A6 format fits comfortably into a jacket pocket, handbag, or uniform. This makes it the perfect choice for essential information that needs to travel anywhere.
Crafted with Printways’ industry-leading print quality, our A6 wire-o booklets feature a strong, double-loop metal wire binding. This ensures every page stays securely in place while allowing the booklet to lie perfectly flat on any surface. You can even fold the covers 360 degrees back on themselves. This makes it incredibly easy to hold in one hand while writing or reading on the go.
Ideal Uses for A6 Wiro Bound Booklets
Because they are small, durable, and cost-effective, A6 wiro bound books serve a wide variety of practical and promo purposes. They are often used for:
- Promotional Giveaways: Create branded pocket notebooks to hand out at shows, trade shows, and corporate events.
- Pocket Reference Guides: Print essential safety checklists, emergency procedures, or quick-reference manuals for on-site staff.
- Mini Product Catalogues: Showcase your top-selling items or services in a compact, easy-to-browse format.
- Staff Training Handbooks: Provide bite-sized, accessible onboarding information that new hires can carry with them.
- Branded Pocket Diaries: Design custom daily planners that easily slip into any bag.
Complete Customisation for Your Brand
At Printways, we ensure your smallest documents still make a massive impact. Choose your preferred layout: portrait (bound on the 148mm long edge) for traditional reading and writing, or landscape (bound on the 105mm short edge) for a neat, flip-up format.
Customise the feel of your A6 booklet with our premium, FSC-certified paper stocks. Select our 90gsm or 100gsm uncoated paper if the book is intended for writing, or choose our 130gsm or 170gsm silk and gloss finishes for striking, full-colour graphic print. To keep your pocket books looking pristine through heavy daily use, we strongly advise selecting our heavy 350gsm card covers, complete with your choice of protective matt, gloss, or premium soft-touch lamination.

Frequently Asked Questions About A6 Wiro Bound Books
What is the exact size of an A6 wiro bound book?
An A6 document measures exactly 105 x 148mm. To visualise it, A6 is precisely half the size of an A5 booklet, or one-quarter the size of a standard A4 piece of paper. This highly compact, pocket-sized dimension makes it incredibly popular for promo notebooks, quick-reference guides, and mini catalogues that users can easily carry with them at all times.
Can I order A6 wiro bound books in both portrait and landscape?
Yes, we offer both orientations. Portrait binding (where the metal wire runs along the 148mm edge) opens like a traditional book and is the most common choice for diaries and text-heavy guides. Landscape binding (where the wire runs along the 105mm short edge) creates a flip-pad style format. This is excellent for top-bound pocket notebooks or small visual presentations.
What is the minimum and maximum page count for A6 booklets?
Your A6 wiro bound book requires a minimum of 8 printed pages (which is 4 physical sheets of paper printed double-sided). The maximum page count depends on your chosen paper weight. Using our standard paper stocks and our largest double-loop wire gauges, we can bind thick A6 documents containing up to about 350 pages. Your final page count must always be an even number.
How much margin should I leave for the wire binding holes?
Due to the small size of the A6 format, setting up your artwork correctly is crucial. You must leave a "safe margin" of at least 12mm on the binding edge of every page. Keep all text, logos, and critical design elements out of this 12mm area so they are not punched out by the binding machine. Also, ensure you include a standard 3mm bleed on all outer edges of your artwork file.
Can I print full-colour designs on the inside of the A6 covers?
Absolutely. You have full control over your cover printing. You can choose "single-sided" covers (printed on the outside only, leaving the insides white) or "double-sided" covers. Double-sided printing is highly recommended for A6 booklets, as it allows you to maximise the limited space by printing calendars, contact details, or extra branding on the inside covers.
Do you offer clear protective covers for A6 booklets?
Yes, we offer protective outers for our A6 range. You can add a clear transparent or frosted acetate front cover, along with a rigid card backing board. Because A6 books are often carried in pockets or bags where they are subject to friction and bending, these protective layers are a highly popular addition to keep your documents looking professional for longer.
Can I order a small run of promo A6 notebooks?
Yes, you can. Printways uses advanced digital printing tech, which eliminates the heavy setup costs of traditional print runs. This means we can offer extremely low minimum order quantities. Whether you want to print 25 bespoke pocket books for a small internal team or 5,000 branded giveaways for a trade show, we process your order with the exact same premium materials and care.
How fast can I get my A6 wiro bound books delivered in the UK?
We offer highly competitive production times. Our standard UK turnaround for A6 wiro bound books is 5–7 working days from the moment you approve your digital proof. If you are working to a strict deadline for an upcoming event, you can upgrade to our express 2–3 working days service, or even our next-day dispatch service for urgent corporate needs.

How to Prepare Your Artwork
To ensure the highest quality print, please supply your artwork in PDF format. We recommend saving your files with the 'High Quality Print' preset. Here are a few essential tips for the perfect print:
- Bleed Area: Please include a minimum of 3mm bleed on all edges of your design. This ensures no white borders are left when we trim your product to the final size.
- Safe Zone: Keep all important text, contact details, and logos at least 3mm away from the trim edge.
- Resolution: All images and graphics should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch) for crisp, clear, and professional results.
- Colour Mode: Convert all RGB and spot colours to CMYK format before exporting your file to avoid unexpected colour shifts.
Understanding Paper Stocks & Finishes
Choosing the right paper stock can dramatically change the feel of your product. Here is a quick guide to our most popular options:
- Silk / Uncoated: A natural, non-reflective finish that is highly readable and easy to write on. Perfect for letterheads, forms, and elegant brochures.
- Gloss: A shiny coating that makes colours pop and images look incredibly vibrant. Ideal for flyers, posters, and photograph-heavy designs.
- Matt Lamination: A smooth, sleek finish that dulls reflections and adds a premium, tactile feel to business cards and luxury presentation folders.
- Spot UV & Foil: For maximum visual impact, add a glossy raised layer or metallic foil to specific parts of your design to draw the eye instantly.
