When choosing a mailing label size, consider the following factors:

  1. Package size: Choose a label that is slightly larger than the package to ensure it covers the entire surface.
  2. Content: If you're sending a package with a lot of text or graphics, you may need a larger label to accommodate the information.
  3. Shipping carrier: Some shipping carriers, such as USPS, have specific label size requirements for certain types of mailings.
  4. Aesthetics: Choose a label size that looks professional and visually appealing.

Keep in mind that mailing labels can be cut to size, so if you need a custom size, you can trim a larger label to fit your needs.
