6.5 × 5 in labels
In metric, 6.5 × 5 in is 165 × 127 mm; in everyday terms, a little larger than a CD case. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a 6 × 9 in bubble mailer (6 × 9 in) and a 9 × 6 in mailer box top (9 × 6 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 34 lines of roughly 108 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. Need it the other way round? 5 × 6.5 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.
