8 × 4.5 in labels
In metric, 8 × 4.5 in is 203 × 114 mm; in everyday terms, a little larger than a paperback book cover. We checked it against common containers: it works for a wrap around the 16 oz tall can (8.15 in round) as well as a 2 lb stand-up pouch front (6.75 × 9.5 in). That is space for about 30 lines of roughly 134 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. The same page covers 4.5 × 8: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Artwork checklist
Work on a 2438 × 1388 px file with a 7.875 × 4.375 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Wrapped jobs: nothing important within 0.5 in of the left and right ends, where the seam lands.
Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 8.25 × 4.75 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 8 in length suits containers from roughly 2.63 in diameter up.
Compared with 9 × 4 in, 8 × 4.5 in has 0% more room, and the next step, 12 × 3 in, adds 0%.
