A5 Leaflet and Brochure Holders:
The Most Versatile Leaflet Format
A5 leaflet holders are display dispensers precision-moulded to 148x210mm, exactly half an A4 sheet. High-clarity acrylic and crystal styrene construction. Single-pocket countertop units, wall-mounted tiers, and freestanding floor stands. Minimum 130gsm recommended for upright presentation. Pocket lip covers approximately 30 to 40mm from the bottom of the insert. Clean with soft damp cloth and mild soap only; no acetone or abrasive cloths on acrylic.
A5 is the most widely used standard promotional leaflet format in UK commercial printing. Large enough for substantial content and full-colour photography on the cover, compact enough for a customer to fold and carry in a pocket or bag. A5 fits all standard A5 leaflet holder pockets, fits inside A5 envelopes for direct mail, and prints as two-up on a standard A4 sheet, making it cost-effective to produce at any quantity. For high-dwell retail and reception positions where pick-up rates matter, A5 holders at eye level are the standard display format.
Our A5 holder range covers countertop single and multi-pocket units, wall-mounted tiers, and freestanding floor stands. For DL (1/3 A4) see our DL leaflet holders. For A4 see our A4 leaflet holders.

Why Choose Displaysense A5 Leaflet Holders
Precision A5 Moulding: No Flopping or Sliding
An A5 holder moulded precisely to 148mm holds a standard A5 leaflet of 130gsm or heavier standing upright under its own stiffness, presenting the cover face. A pocket even slightly too wide lets the leaflet lean sideways and present its spine rather than its cover. Our precision moulding means A5 leaflets stand cleanly in the pocket without physical adjustment after each item is removed from the front of the stack.
High-Clarity Acrylic: Cover Artwork Visible on Approach
Our A5 holders are manufactured from high-clarity acrylic and crystal styrene providing near-glass transparency of the pocket walls, so the full cover artwork is visible to a customer approaching the display from several metres. Standard cloudy plastic obscures the cover design and reduces the pick-up trigger before the customer reaches the holder. Our acrylic resists yellowing under sustained fluorescent and LED lighting in retail and reception positions.
Why A5 Is the Most Portable Promotional Format
A5 prints as two-up on a standard A4 sheet, making it the most cost-effective ISO size for short and medium print runs. The 148x210mm dimensions are compact enough for a customer to fold in half and carry in a jacket pocket or handbag, which A4 is not. Event flyers, product spec sheets, and takeaway menus all benefit from this carry-away property: the customer takes the information with them rather than leaving it behind after reading.
Countertop, Wall-Mounted and Freestanding Options
Single-pocket countertop A5 holders sit on a reception desk or exhibition table at customer contact range. Wall-mounted multi-pocket A5 tiers suit corridor and waiting room positions where floor and counter space must stay clear. Freestanding floor stands suit exhibition and event positions without wall fixing access. Many countertop models include pre-drilled keyhole fixings on the back for dual countertop and wall use from a single unit.
Impact-Resistant for Trade Show and Retail Daily Use
Our A5 holders are made from high-impact acrylic that absorbs the knocks and drops of daily retail and trade show use without shattering. Standard brittle clear plastics crack when knocked off a counter edge, leaving sharp edges that are a safety hazard in a public environment. High-impact acrylic deforms without shattering. The scratch-resistant surface maintains clarity through repeated cleaning over a full event season or retail year.
UK Stock for Fast Dispatch on Single Units and Bulk Orders
We hold substantial UK stock of our most popular A5 holder formats for fast dispatch whether you need a single holder for a reception desk or a bulk order for a national campaign rollout. A retail chain standardising A5 holder specifications across multiple stores, or an event company equipping a trade show stand, can order in volume with confidence in consistent availability and delivery.
What Are A5 Holders Used For?
Retail, Events, Healthcare or Hospitality?
A5 suits any application where the leaflet must be substantial enough for detailed information but compact enough for customers to take away without difficulty. Standard for event flyers, product specification sheets, mini-catalogues, and takeaway menus across retail, hospitality, healthcare, and events.
For Retail and Exhibition Stands
Countertop A5 holders at the checkout or exhibition stand position one or more A5 titles at customer contact range during the transaction or stand visit. For exhibition stands where multiple product spec sheets are available for self-service browsing, a multi-pocket countertop or freestanding A5 holder presents the full product range without requiring staff involvement in initial literature distribution.
For Healthcare and NHS Waiting Rooms
Wall-mounted A5 multi-pocket tiers in NHS waiting rooms and GP surgery waiting areas display multiple patient information leaflets across different health topics for self-service collection. A5 is the standard format for most NHS patient information leaflets, making A5 holders the correct specification for NHS waiting room display. PO accepted from NHS trusts on 30-day credit terms.
For Hospitality and Events
Restaurants and cafes use A5 holders on tables for specials and takeaway menus. Hotels use A5 wall holders in room corridors and reception for local attraction leaflets and service information. Event companies use A5 freestanding holders at venue entrances for event programme distribution. A5 is small enough to not dominate a table setting while providing enough content space for a substantial menu or programme.
