9 × 6 in labels
In metric, 9 × 6 in is 229 × 152 mm; in everyday terms, a little larger than a half-letter sheet. Typical homes for it: a laptop lid (11 × 7.5 in); a 10 × 10 in cake box top (10 × 10 in). That is space for about 41 lines of roughly 151 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Searching for 6x9? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

Artwork advice
Work on a 2738 × 1838 px file with an 8.875 × 5.875 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Large flat colour shows dust and fingerprints during application – a light texture or white background hides it.
On flat packs allow 9.25 × 6.25 in. On round containers the 9 in side wraps a 2.94 in diameter or larger.
Compared with 10 × 5 in, 9 × 6 in has 8% more room, and the next step, 8 × 7 in, adds 4%. Going one size bigger costs roughly $7.28 more per thousand.
