5.5 × 3.75 in labels
Picture a 4 × 6 photo: 5.5 × 3.75 in (140 × 95 mm) is a little smaller than that. Typical homes for it: a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in); a 12 oz coffee pouch front (5.25 × 7.5 in). For copy, count on about 25 lines of roughly 90 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits. Ordering 3.75 wide by 5.5 tall? Use this page and set the orientation on your artwork.

Design notes
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 5.375 × 3.625 in. Leave at least 0.15 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 5.75 × 4 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 5.5 in length suits containers from roughly 1.83 in diameter up.
Compared with 10 × 2 in, 5.5 × 3.75 in has 3% more room, while the next step, 7 × 3 in, adds 2%. Going one size bigger costs roughly $2.56 more per thousand.
