What 12 × 5 in labels are used for
Product sheets as stickers
A full sell sheet – 34 lines at 8 pt – stuck straight onto a sample case.
Inside-window posters
Hours and promotions facing out through a window at 305 × 127 mm.
Equipment and asset panels
Large instructions or a wiring diagram – 27 lines at 10 pt across 162 characters.
Event and trade-show signs
Table fronts and crates at shows: 305 × 127 mm reads from 15 ft.
Before you design
Keep text and logos inside an 11.875 × 4.875 in safe area and do not go below 8 pt. Large flat colour shows dust and fingerprints during application – a light texture or white background hides it.
Flat surfaces should measure 12.25 × 5.25 in or more. Used as a wrap, 12 in covers a bottle of about 3.9 in diameter almost completely.
Against 10 × 6 in you gain 0% more face with 12 × 5 in, and going up to 9 × 7 in gives 5% more. For 1,000 labels the step to 9 × 7 in is about $10.92.

How much text fits on a 12 × 5 in label?
About 6902 characters at 8 pt (34 lines × 203), or 4374 at 10 pt. Most good labels use far less – a name, one benefit and the required details.

Prices drop with volume: 100 labels are $179.25, 1,000 are $560.26 ($0.560 each). One $45.00 setup applies per design.
How many rolls will my 12 × 5 in order come on?
Each 3″-core roll holds about 2,500 and each 1″-core roll about 660, so divide your quantity by that to estimate the number of rolls.
Which file types work for 12 × 5 in label artwork?
PDF, AI, EPS, SVG, PNG or JPG. For raster files use 3,638 × 1,538 px (300 dpi), which matches the 12.125 × 5.125 in bleed size.
