6 × 1.25 in labels
6 × 1.25 in labels measure 152 × 32 mm and give you 7.5 square inches – a slim strip about 4.8 times as long as it is tall. It is a natural fit for a wrap around the 4 oz Boston round (6.15 in round) and a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 7 lines of roughly 99 characters at 8 pt, or a UPC-A barcode at 80% scale plus a product name. The same page covers 1.25 × 6: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Before you design
Design to 1838 × 412 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 5.875 × 1.125 in, and use 7 pt as the smallest size. Wrapped jobs: nothing important within 0.35 in of the left and right ends, where the seam lands.
For boxes and pouches allow 6.25 × 1.5 in of flat face. On cylinders the 6 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 1.99 in.
Over 3.25 × 2.25 in, 6 × 1.25 in offers 3% extra label area, and the next size, 5 × 1.5 in, is 0% roomier.

What is the maximum roll size for 6 × 1.25 in labels?
A full 3″-core roll carries around 9,400; small 1″ cores about 2,500. Bigger orders ship on several rolls.
How do I set up 6 × 1.25 in label artwork?
