Can somebody help? I'm having a hard time figuring out what size an A5 envelope is in inches...is it a standard letter size? A greeting card size?

I just searched a bunch of sites for A5 envelope and only could find A5 paper. I could not find a size in inches for an A5 envelope? I'm in the US and I am a metric system idiot. I do have some A9 envelopes that are 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" or the box says 14.6cm x 22.2cm. I like to use this size for the random envelopes.

A5 must be pretty good size if you can fit a spool of thread into it? Watching this swap, cause it sounds like a lot of fun!

I have heard of A2 but not A5...I just checked on google and they have A2, A6, A7 and A9 but no A5 maybe it's a typo....sorry couldn't help ya.

can I confuse you? a A5 is half of A4... ok, I can give you in cms and is: 21x15 cms. hope I helped you...

I love these kind of swaps! I am still confused on the envelop size too!! :o)

A A5 envelope is 21cm x 15cm or for the americans 9,5inch by 6inch.

I'm joining also. Sounds really like a lot of fun. I can imagine what will happen when you open the envelope and all the things are falling out....must be great....:-) I will go on the watchlist since I still have the limit of 5 swaps to be on, but I will definitly join in later.

Thank you for the size translation! Now to find fun things to stuff in my A5 envelope!

cittylou 04/16/2009 #

Thanks for the clarification on the size of the envelope people. Forgot that everbody might not know this size.

To clarify what IngridRijnen said- An A5 envelope is 21cm x 15cm or for the americans 9,5inch by 6inch. (A5 is half of A4). I will put this in the details above.

Thanks, :)

@cittylou and @ robinomayberry: you are welcome. IÂ´m not limited to my number of swaps anymore so I moved myself from watchlist to joinlist. IÂ´m sure this swap will be great!

Is it ok to send the supplies in something bigger than an A5 envelope? I would rather send in a 9X12 envelope or small box.

Jazza 04/25/2009 #

hi i am new and have not idea how to join this swap. please help anyone!

cittylou 04/25/2009 #

Yes I suppose its ok to send in something bigger but bear in the mind the requirements are to send in an A5 so that is what you will receive. Once I assign partners it may be worth mailing your partner to tell them this so they know. The reason I chose A5 was to keep postage costs down as this is international swap.

Jazza-This swap is not open to newbies.

How heavy should it be? 100 gram / 250 gram ?

cittylou 04/28/2009 #

No requirement for weight so long as you fit as much as you can into the envelope.

I sent my swap yesterday on my way to school. I wasn't able to get on a computer before now to mark it sent.
