5 × 4.25 in labels
At 127 × 108 mm, this label is a little smaller than a 4 × 6 photo, with 21.25 square inches to print on. Typical homes for it: a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in); a 12 oz coffee pouch front (5.25 × 7.5 in). Text-wise, plan on about 28 lines of roughly 82 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. The same page covers 4.25 × 5: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.
