I forgot to mention that it's a US size
Christophe Delaunay Sep 5, 2013:
Allow me to hide my answer since I was quite sure about it, not knowing that there is a US A1. I went for the code not looking at the size...blatant mistake

pour faire-part/invitations

Je pense qu'ici, l'usage est plus important que les dimensions exactes (que l'ont peut mentionner après). Les enveloppes "bar 4" ("baronial 4") sont destinées aux faire-part, invitations, etc.

Si on veut être précis, il faut rajouter "rabat en V" quelque part, puisque c'est ça qui les différencie des enveloppes "A" ("announcement").

"Announcement & Baronial"
""A" Envelopes, baronial "Bar" Envelopes & Their Cards"
"The difference between A-style envelopes and baronial envelopes is that A-style envelopes have a squared-off flap, while baronial envelopes have a triangular, pointy flap."

format 9.21 cm × 13.02 cm

4-Bar 3.625" x 5.125" 3.475" x 4.875"

9.21 cm × 13.02 cm

This is not a standard size in the European system, and as such, to avoid confusion, I think it needs to be explained.

This is roughly the format for correspondence cards in FR
