Print-ready tips
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 11.875 × 5.875 in. Big labels go on easier from one edge: plan the design so a slight shift of 0.12 in is not noticeable.
Panels should be at least 12.25 × 6.25 in. Wrapping the 12 in side? Containers of about 3.9 in diameter and up work.
Over 10 × 7 in, 12 × 6 in offers 3% extra label area – the next size, 10 × 8 in, is 11% roomier. Going one size bigger costs roughly $0.11 more per thousand.

Good to know
Is 12x6 the same as 6x12?

How are 12 × 6 in labels priced?
The live engine quotes $180.76 for the minimum run of 100, then $574.92 at 1,000 – about $0.575 per piece – before the $45.00 setup.
How are 12 × 6 in labels wound?
One across on the roll, up to roughly 2,100 per 3″ core (560 on a 1″ core). You pick the unwind direction in the builder.
How do I set up 12 × 6 in label artwork?
Make the canvas 3,638 × 1,838 px (300 dpi) – that is 12.125 × 6.125 in including bleed – and keep text off the outer 1/16″.
