6 × 2.25 in labels
6 × 2.25 in works out to 152 × 57 mm – a little smaller than a banknote. Typical homes for it: a wrap around the 4 oz Boston round (6.15 in round); a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in). Expect about 14 lines of roughly 99 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. Ordering 2.25 wide by 6 tall? Use this page and set the orientation on your artwork.

Common jobs for 6 × 2.25 in labels
4 oz Boston round wrap
Goes 6 in of the 6.15 in circumference, leaving a 0.15 in seam; the 2.25 in height stays under the 2.7 in wall.
Half-dozen cupcake box top
Fills about 36% of a 7.5 × 5 in face, with 0.75 in and 1.4 in margins.
Bin and shelf signage
Bin fronts: a 36 pt heading and 11 lines of details across 6 in.
Promotional decals
At 152 × 57 mm it reads from 7 ft; artwork should be 1838 × 712 px.
Design notes
Keep text and logos inside a 5.875 × 2.125 in safe area and do not go below 8 pt. On the 4 oz Boston round, leave the last 0.35 in of each end plain so the seam never cuts through words.
Leave room: 6.25 × 2.5 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 1.99 in across (with the 6 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
6 × 2.25 in gives you 0% more printable area than 9 × 1.5 in; 4.5 × 3 in has 0% more again.
