6 × 3 in oval labels
6 × 3 in oval works out to 152 × 76 mm – a little smaller than a banknote. It is a natural fit for the front of a 1 gallon paint can and a half-dozen cupcake box top (7.5 × 5 in). Expect about 14 lines of roughly 73 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one.

Artwork advice
Set your canvas to 1838 × 938 px, put a 5.875 × 2.875 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. Curved edges: text running round a 6 in edge reads better than a square block forced into the middle.
Fit check: you need a flat area of at least 6.25 × 3.25 in (159 mm wide) so the edge of the 6 × 3 in oval stays off rims and curves.
6 × 3 in oval has 3% more space than 5 × 3.5 in oval; 5.5 × 4 in oval adds 22% more. The bigger 5.5 × 4 in oval runs about $27.29 extra for 1,000.
