7 × 4 in labels
At 178 × 102 mm, this label is a little smaller than a paperback book cover, with 28 square inches to print on. We checked it against common containers: it works for a notebook cover (5.5 × 8.5 in) as well as the front of a 1 gallon paint can. Layout budget: about 27 lines of roughly 116 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. The same page covers 4 × 7: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Ideas for 7 × 4 in labels
Notebook cover label
Leaves 0.75 in at the sides and 0.75 in top and bottom on a 5.5 × 8.5 in surface.
Front of a 1 gallon paint can
Covers about 33% of the way round a 6.6 in body, so the whole label reads face-on.
Event and trade-show signs
Peel and stick on tables, crates and boards; 178 × 102 mm reads across a room.
Equipment and asset panels
Machine instructions: 21 lines of 93 characters at 10 pt.
Getting the layout right
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 6.875 × 3.875 in. Big labels go on easier from one edge: plan the design so a slight shift of 0.07 in is not noticeable.
Flat use: 7.25 × 4.25 in of face. Wrap use: about 2.31 in across or more, with 7 in going round.
Against 8 × 3.5 in you gain 0% more face with 7 × 4 in, and going up to 8.25 × 3.5 in gives 3% more. Going one size bigger costs roughly $15.41 more per thousand.

Common questions
Is 7x4 the same as 4x7?
Same label, different orientation. 7 × 4 in rotated is 4 × 7 in; the price does not change, and the unwind direction you choose decides how it feeds off the roll.
What do 1,000 7 × 4 in labels cost?
1,000 cost $324.82 – $0.325 a label – while the smallest run (100) is $155.17. The $45.00 artwork setup is charged once.
How many rolls will my 7 × 4 in order come on?
Each 3″-core roll holds about 3,100 and each 1″-core roll about 830, so divide your quantity by that to estimate the number of rolls.
What canvas size should I use for 7 × 4 in labels?
Start a 7.125 × 4.125 in document; in pixels that is 2,138 × 1,238 px at 300 dpi. Vector files stay sharp at any size.
