6.5 × 6 in labels: typical jobs
2 lb stand-up pouch front label
Leaves 0.1 in at the sides and 1.75 in top and bottom on a 6.75 × 9.5 in surface.
8 × 8 in cake box top
Fills about 60% of an 8 × 8 in face, with 0.75 in and 1 in margins.
Event and trade-show signs
Table fronts and crates at shows: 165 × 152 mm reads from 18 ft.
Product sheets as stickers
A full sell sheet – 41 lines at 8 pt – stuck straight onto a sample case.
Design tip for this size
Keep text and logos inside a 6.375 × 5.875 in safe area and do not go below 8 pt. Over 39 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 6.75 × 6.25 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 6.5 in length suits containers from roughly 2.15 in diameter up.
7 × 5.5 in is the next size down, and 6.5 × 6 in adds 1% – the larger 10 × 4 in adds 3% on top. Expect around $0.02 more per 1,000 for the larger 10 × 4 in.
