6 × 3.5 in labels
Picture a 4 × 6 photo: 6 × 3.5 in (152 × 89 mm) is a little smaller than that. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in) and a 12 oz coffee pouch front (5.25 × 7.5 in). Text-wise, plan on about 23 lines of roughly 99 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. Searching for 3.5x6? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

Getting the layout right
Work on a 1838 × 1088 px file with a 5.875 × 3.375 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Leave at least 0.14 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
On flat packs allow 6.25 × 3.75 in. On round containers the 6 in side wraps a 1.99 in diameter or larger.
