6.5 × 4 in labels
Picture a 4 × 6 photo: 6.5 × 4 in (165 × 102 mm) is a little larger than that. Typical homes for it: a notebook cover (5.5 × 8.5 in); a 12 oz coffee pouch front (5.25 × 7.5 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 27 lines of roughly 108 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. Searching for 4x6.5? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

Getting the layout right
Design to 1988 × 1238 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 6.375 × 3.875 in, and use 8 pt as the smallest size. Over 26 sq in, keep body text in columns no wider than about 4 in so it stays easy to read.
Flat use: 6.75 × 4.25 in of face. Wrap use: about 2.15 in across or more, with 6.5 in going round.
Compared with 6 × 4.25 in, 6.5 × 4 in has 2% more room, and the next step, 7 × 3.75 in, adds 1%. The bigger 7 × 3.75 in runs about $4.40 extra for 1,000.
