6 × 3.25 in labels

In metric, 6 × 3.25 in is 152 × 83 mm; in everyday terms, a little larger than a banknote. We checked it against common containers: it works for a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in) as well as a 12 oz coffee pouch front (5.25 × 7.5 in). Layout budget: about 21 lines of roughly 99 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. 3.25 × 6 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.
