large letter but here you can find all the correct info below from royal mail website
etter
Greetings cards, personal letters, postcards and bills are just a few examples of items that are likely to fall into the letter format.
Length: 240mm max Width: 165mm max
Thickness: 5mm max
Weight: 100g max
Large letter
A4 documents, CDs and DVDs in their cases, certificates, some large greeting cards with badges and most magazines will fall into the large letter format.
Length: 353mm max
Width: 250mm max

Useful tip
You might consider folding your A4 document in half to fit into a C5 envelope. This would bring it down to the letter format, as long as it is still less than 5mm thick
Packet
Gifts, clothes, shoes, posters, video tapes, large books and other large items and documents are all examples of items that are likely to fall into the packet format.
Length: over 353mm OR

When i'm selling items that i'm just about making a small profit on,.....that 6 quid means a lot.
But if £6 is nothing to YOU,....i'll gladly accept a donation.
If £6 is a significant part of your profit, may I suggest you are wasting your time? Surely an hours overtime at work would net you more?0 -
I think if you asked most people on this forum, they would rather save £6, than spend it unnecessarily....hence the site name "moneysaving"expert.If £6 is a significant part of your profit, may I suggest you are wasting your time? Surely an hours overtime at work would net you more?
Sorry to disappoint you, but i'll be sending my items as letters as they fit nice & flat in an envelope,.....so i get to keep my £6!

Fine. But you said £6 means a lot. I don't care what you do, but £6 means sweet miss adams, unless you are making a quid an item.0
