6 × 2.75 in labels
At 152 × 70 mm, this label is almost exactly the size of a banknote, with 16.5 square inches to print on. Typical homes for it: the front of a 1 gallon paint can; a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in). That is space for about 18 lines of roughly 99 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Portrait or landscape, 6 × 2.75 and 2.75 × 6 are one product here.
