5.5 × 5 in labels
Hold up a CD case and you have a feel for 5.5 × 5 in: almost exactly the size of it, 140 × 127 mm, 27.5 sq in. Buyers usually put it on a notebook cover (5.5 × 8.5 in) or a 6 × 9 in bubble mailer (6 × 9 in). Expect about 34 lines of roughly 90 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. Portrait or landscape, 5.5 × 5 and 5 × 5.5 are one product here.

Who orders 5.5 × 5 in labels
Notebook cover label
Leaves 1.5 in at the sides and 0.25 in top and bottom on a 5.5 × 8.5 in surface.
On a 6 × 9 in bubble mailer
Covers roughly 50% of that 6 × 9 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Box-top graphics
Brand a plain mailer box lid; artwork at 1688 × 1538 px.
Event and trade-show signs
Peel and stick on tables, crates and boards; 140 × 127 mm reads across a room.
Design notes
Work on a 1688 × 1538 px file with a 5.375 × 4.875 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Over 28 sq in, keep body text in columns no wider than about 4 in so it stays easy to read.
Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 5.75 × 5.25 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 5.5 in length suits containers from roughly 1.83 in diameter up.
Area-wise 5.5 × 5 in beats 6 × 4.5 in by 2% – 8 × 3.5 in offers another 2%. 8 × 3.5 in adds around $8.80 to a 1,000-label order.

Common questions
Can a barcode fit on 5.5 × 5 in labels?
It does – UPC-A at 100% scale with its quiet zones, and about 3.7 in of height left over. Black bars on a white background scan best; avoid red bars.
Is there a minimum order for 5.5 × 5 in labels?
Yes, 100 labels; that run is $154.28. At 1,000 you pay $316.02, near $0.316 apiece, and artwork setup adds $45.00 once.
What is the maximum roll size for 5.5 × 5 in labels?
A full 3″-core roll carries around 2,500; small 1″ cores about 660. Bigger orders ship on several rolls.
How do I avoid blurry 5.5 × 5 in labels?
Send at least 1,688 × 1,538 px for raster art – 300 dpi across the 5.625 × 5.125 in bleed area – or a vector PDF.
