7 × 2.5 in labels
Picture a banknote: 7 × 2.5 in (178 × 64 mm) is a little larger than that. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a wrap around the 12 oz beer bottle (7.55 in round) and a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in). That is space for about 16 lines of roughly 116 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Portrait or landscape, 7 × 2.5 and 2.5 × 7 are one product here.

Where 7 × 2.5 in labels work best
12 oz beer bottle wrap
Goes 7 in of the 7.55 in circumference, leaving a 0.55 in seam; the 2.5 in height stays under the 3.6 in wall.
On a half-dozen cupcake box top
Covers roughly 46% of that 7.5 × 5 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Gift box tops
A 178 × 64 mm label brands an 8 × 3.5 in box lid with a margin all round.
Bag and pouch fronts
Stock bags plus 178 × 64 mm labels replace custom-printed pouches until volumes grow.
Design notes
Design to 2138 × 788 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 6.875 × 2.375 in, and use 8 pt as the smallest size. Test-wrap a paper print around a 12 oz beer bottle first; keep 0.4 in at each end free of text.
Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 7.25 × 2.75 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 7 in length suits containers from roughly 2.31 in diameter up.
7 × 2.5 in gives you 0% more printable area than 3.5 × 5 in – 5.5 × 3.25 in has 2% more again. Per thousand, 5.5 × 3.25 in is roughly $2.56 dearer.
