10 × 4.5 in labels
Think of 10 × 4.5 in as a wide panel with a 2.2:1 ratio – 254 × 114 mm, or 45 square inches of artwork. Buyers usually put it on a laptop lid (11 × 7.5 in) or a 9 × 12 in envelope (9 × 12 in). That is space for about 30 lines of roughly 168 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Portrait or landscape, 10 × 4.5 and 4.5 × 10 are one product here.

Print-ready tips
Set your canvas to 3038 × 1388 px, put a 9.875 × 4.375 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.
Flat use: 10.25 × 4.75 in of face. Wrap use: about 3.26 in across or more, with 10 in going round.
