6 × 4 in oval labels
In metric, 6 × 4 in oval is 152 × 102 mm; in everyday terms, almost exactly the size of a 4 × 6 photo. We checked it against common containers: it works for a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in) as well as a 12 oz coffee pouch front (5.25 × 7.5 in). Text-wise, plan on about 20 lines of roughly 73 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too.

Artwork advice
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 5.875 × 3.875 in. Round shapes lose the corners, so plan on about 78% of the bounding box for content and curve text along the edge if you need more.
Rule of thumb for this shape: allow 6.25 × 4.25 in of flat space, roughly 159 mm at the widest point.
