5.5 × 3.25 in labels
A 5.5 × 3.25 in label is 140 × 83 mm, a little larger than a 3 × 5 index card. Where it fits best: a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in), plus a 4 × 6 in postcard (6 × 4 in). Expect about 21 lines of roughly 90 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. The same page covers 3.25 × 5.5: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

At 140 × 83 mm it reads from 10 ft; artwork should be 1688 × 1012 px.
Before you design
Set your canvas to 1688 × 1012 px, put a 5.375 × 3.125 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. Group the must-read items in the top 1.95 in so they show even when products are stacked.
On flat packs allow 5.75 × 3.5 in. On round containers the 5.5 in side wraps a 1.83 in diameter or larger.
5.5 × 3.25 in is 2% larger in area than 7 × 2.5 in – 6 × 3 in is 1% bigger still. Stepping up to 6 × 3 in adds about $0.85 per 1,000 labels.
