5.5 × 4.5 in labels
Picture a CD case: 5.5 × 4.5 in (140 × 114 mm) is a little smaller than that. It is a natural fit for a 12 oz coffee pouch front (5.25 × 7.5 in) and a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in). For copy, count on about 30 lines of roughly 90 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits. Portrait or landscape, 5.5 × 4.5 and 4.5 × 5.5 are one product here.
