10 × 4 in labels
With 40 square inches across 254 × 102 mm, the 10 × 4 in size is a wide panel with a 2.5:1 ratio. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a laptop lid (11 × 7.5 in) and a 9 × 12 in envelope (9 × 12 in). Layout budget: about 27 lines of roughly 168 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. Need it the other way round? 4 × 10 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.

Artwork checklist
Work on a 3038 × 1238 px file with a 9.875 × 3.875 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Over 40 sq in, keep body text in columns no wider than about 4 in so it stays easy to read.
A 10.25 × 4.25 in flat panel is ideal; for wraps pick containers around 3.26 in diameter or bigger for the 10 in length.
10 × 4 in is 3% larger in area than 6.5 × 6 in, and 8 × 5 in is 0% bigger still.
