Design tip for this size
Guide lines first: 6.375 × 6.375 in for content, 1988 × 1988 px for the full bleed canvas, 8 pt minimum type. Over 42 sq in, keep body text in columns no wider than about 4 in so it stays easy to read.
Leave room: 6.75 × 6.75 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 2.15 in across (with the 6.5 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
6.5 × 6.5 in has 17% more space than 6 × 6 in, while 7 × 7 in adds 16% more. Expect around $54.45 more per 1,000 for the larger 7 × 7 in.
