5.5 × 5.5 in square labels
Hold up a CD case and you have a feel for 5.5 × 5.5 in: a little larger than it, 140 × 140 mm, 30.25 sq in. We checked it against common containers: it works for a 6 × 9 in bubble mailer (6 × 9 in) as well as a 9 × 6 in mailer box top (9 × 6 in). Expect about 37 lines of roughly 90 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one.

Design notes
Design to 1688 × 1688 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 5.375 × 5.375 in, and use 8 pt as the smallest size. At 30 sq in, low-resolution photos show; send vector art or images at least 1688 × 1688 px.
A 5.75 × 5.75 in flat panel is ideal; for wraps pick containers around 1.83 in diameter or bigger for the 5.5 in length.
Over 5 × 5 in, 5.5 × 5.5 in offers 21% extra label area; the next size, 6 × 6 in, is 19% roomier. The bigger 6 × 6 in runs about $101.23 extra for 1,000.
