7 × 5.5 in labels
A 7 × 5.5 in label is 178 × 140 mm, a little smaller than a half-letter sheet. Typical homes for it: a 2 lb stand-up pouch front (6.75 × 9.5 in); an 8 × 8 in cake box top (8 × 8 in). Text-wise, plan on about 37 lines of roughly 116 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. Need it the other way round? 5.5 × 7 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.
