8 × 5.5 in labels
An 8 × 5.5 in label is 203 × 140 mm, a little smaller than a half-letter sheet. Typical homes for it: a laptop lid (11 × 7.5 in); the front of a 1 gallon paint can. Text-wise, plan on about 37 lines of roughly 134 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. Searching for 5.5x8? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

8 × 5.5 in labels: typical jobs
Laptop lid label
Leaves 1.5 in at the sides and 1 in top and bottom on an 11 × 7.5 in surface.

A 6.6 in diameter leaves the 8 in face nearly flat to the eye, about 38% of the circumference.
Box-top graphics
Brand a plain mailer box lid; artwork at 2438 × 1688 px.
Event and trade-show signs
Peel and stick on tables, crates and boards; 203 × 140 mm reads across a room.
Layout tip
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 7.875 × 5.375 in. Big labels go on easier from one edge: plan the design so a slight shift of 0.08 in is not noticeable.
On flat packs allow 8.25 × 5.75 in. On round containers the 8 in side wraps a 2.63 in diameter or larger.
Area-wise 8 × 5.5 in beats 7 × 6 in by 5%, while 10 × 4.5 in offers another 2%. Per thousand, 10 × 4.5 in is roughly $0.02 dearer.
