8.25 × 5 in labels
8.25 × 5 inches wraps a 16 oz tall can (the same 2.6 inch diameter as a 12 oz can, just taller), which is why craft breweries and coffee roasters canning cold brew use it as their main label. It is a natural fit for a 2 lb stand-up pouch front (6.75 × 9.5 in) and the front of a 1 gallon paint can. That is space for about 34 lines of roughly 138 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it.

Ideas for 8.25 × 5 in labels
16 oz tall cans
Same 2.6 in diameter as a 12 oz can, so 8.25 in still goes around; 5 in uses most of the taller straight wall.
On a 2 lb stand-up pouch front
Covers roughly 64% of that 6.75 × 9.5 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Product sheets as stickers
A full sell sheet – 34 lines at 8 pt – stuck straight onto a sample case.
Box-top graphics
Brand a plain mailer box lid; artwork at 2512 × 1538 px.
Layout tip
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 8.125 × 4.875 in. At 41 sq in, low-resolution photos show; send vector art or images at least 2512 × 1538 px.
Leave room: 8.5 × 5.25 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 2.71 in across (with the 8.25 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
8.25 × 5 in gives you 2% more printable area than 9 × 4.5 in, and 7 × 6 in has 2% more again. The bigger 7 × 6 in runs about $0.01 extra for 1,000.
