6 × 5 in labels
A 6 × 5 in label is 152 × 127 mm, a little larger than a CD case. Buyers usually put it on a notebook cover (5.5 × 8.5 in) or a 6 × 9 in bubble mailer (6 × 9 in). That is space for about 34 lines of roughly 99 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. 5 × 6 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Who orders 6 × 5 in labels
Notebook cover
Fills about 64% of a 5.5 × 8.5 in face, with 1.25 in and 0.25 in margins.
On a 6 × 9 in bubble mailer
Covers roughly 55% of that 6 × 9 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Pallet and tote labels
Totes and pallets: big type plus a barcode across 152 × 127 mm.
Inside-window posters
6 × 5 in faces outward through glass for hours, menus or promotions.
Before you design
Set your canvas to 1838 × 1538 px, put a 5.875 × 4.875 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. Large flat colour shows dust and fingerprints during application – a light texture or white background hides it.
Leave room: 6.25 × 5.25 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 1.99 in across (with the 6 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
Area-wise 6 × 5 in beats 8 × 3.75 in by 0% – 9 × 3.5 in offers another 5%. The bigger 9 × 3.5 in runs about $26.41 extra for 1,000.

Is 6x5 the same as 5x6?
