6 × 1.5 in labels
A 6 × 1.5 in label (152 × 38 mm) is a slim strip about 4 times as long as it is tall, with 9 sq in of printable face. Buyers usually put it on a wrap around the 4 oz Boston round (6.15 in round) or a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in). Layout budget: about 9 lines of roughly 99 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. Need it the other way round? 1.5 × 6 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.

6 × 1.5 in labels: typical jobs
Wraps for 4 oz Boston rounds
On a 4 oz Boston round (about 1.95 in across) the 6 in side runs round the body with 0.15 in to spare where the ends meet.
Half-dozen cupcake box top
Fills about 24% of a 7.5 × 5 in face, with 0.75 in and 1.75 in margins.
Bin and shelf signage
Bin fronts: a 36 pt heading and 7 lines of details across 6 in.
Lot and best-before strips
A 6 × 1.5 band holds a date, lot number and a 30-character note.
Design notes
Design to 1838 × 488 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 5.875 × 1.375 in, and use 7 pt as the smallest size. Place the barcode at least 0.35 in from either end – on the 4 oz Boston round the seam lands there.
Flat use: 6.25 × 1.75 in of face. Wrap use: about 1.99 in across or more, with 6 in going round.
6 × 1.5 in has 0% more space than 9 × 1 in, and 4.5 × 2 in adds 0% more.

Your 6 × 1.5 in questions answered
Will a 6 × 1.5 in label fit a 4 oz Boston round?
In most cases. Common 4 oz Boston rounds measure near 1.95 in in diameter, so the circumference is 6.15 in, and the straight wall is about 2.7 in tall. This label (6 × 1.5 in) sits within that – still, check your supplier's drawing.
What will 6 × 1.5 in stickers cost me?
Budget $141.54 for 100 or $189.27 for a thousand ($0.189 per sticker), plus a single $45.00 setup charge.
Do 6 × 1.5 in labels work in a label dispenser?
Yes. Ask for a 3″ core for table-top dispensers (about 8,000 a roll) or a 1″ core for handheld ones (about 2,100).
What canvas size should I use for 6 × 1.5 in labels?
Start a 6.125 × 1.625 in document; in pixels that is 1,838 × 488 px at 300 dpi. Vector files stay sharp at any size.
