Product overview
The A5 invoice book
A5 is 148mm x 210mm, half an A4 sheet. It is the size most of our customers order: enough room for six to ten lines of work and a total, and small enough to live in a van door or a coat pocket. Plumbers, electricians, landscapers, cleaners and mobile traders of every kind use A5 books for invoices written on the spot.
Duplicate or triplicate
Choose two part books, an original and one copy with 100 sets per book, or three part books, an original and two copies with 50 sets per book. The choice is made on this page, and the price for each is in the table above. If you are unsure, the duplicate invoice books page and the triplicate invoice books page explain who uses which.
Printed with your details
Each book is printed in black ink on NCR carbonless paper with your name, logo, address, phone, email and VAT number, and the headings and boxes your invoices need. Upload artwork or choose the free design service and tell us what to include. A proof is emailed before anything is printed.
Binding, perforation and numbering
- Manilla cover, cardboard back, wrap around writing shield and a black taped spine.
- Every sheet perforated along the top or the left edge, whichever you choose.
- Sequential numbering included: give us the starting number, or choose plain.
Fitting the layout to A5
Six to ten lines is the sweet spot. Keep the header compact, your logo and details across the top 35mm, then a description column with quantity and amount, a total box, and one line at the foot for payment details. If you regularly need more lines, step up to A4 rather than shrinking the writing.
Turnaround, delivery and VAT
Printed and dispatched in 3 to 4 working days after you approve the proof. Free delivery anywhere in Ireland, north and south, on every order. Prices are ex VAT; VAT at 23% is added at the checkout. The other sizes, and everything the books have in common, are on the main page for our personalised invoice books.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is A5 the most popular size?
It takes a full invoice for most jobs without being a full sheet to carry, file or post. It fits a van door pocket, a clipboard and a standard C5 envelope.
How many lines fit on an A5 invoice?
Six to ten item lines with the header, a total and a line for bank details. If you need more most of the time, A4 is the better size.
Duplicate or triplicate for A5?
Duplicate, unless a third copy has a home. Two part books hold 100 sets, three part books 50 sets, and both are chosen on this page.
Can the perforation be at the top?
Yes. Choose top or left when you order. Top perforation suits a portrait form; left suits anyone who files the copies in a ring binder.
How soon can I have them?
A proof within a working day, then 3 to 4 working days to print and dispatch once you approve it. Delivery is free anywhere in Ireland.
No reviews yet. Reviews are written by customers after delivery, and approved before they appear.
A print ready PDF is best. We also accept AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, PNG and DOCX files up to 50 MB through the upload box on this page; anything larger can be emailed to sales@discoverprint.ie with your order number.
- Leave 20mm clear along the binding edge (the top or the left, whichever you chose for the perforation). Nothing printed there survives the tear off.
- Keep text and logos at least 5mm from the other three edges.
- Supply artwork at 300dpi. Logos as vector files (AI, EPS or PDF) print sharpest.
- No artwork? Choose the free design option and tell us what to include: your logo, address, phone, email, VAT number and bank details are the usual set. Our designer sets it out and emails a proof.
Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, whether you sent the artwork or we drew it.
