Where 3 × 1 in labels work best
Narrow bottle wraps
Around 1 oz and 2 oz cylindrical bottles and vials.
Return address labels
One line of name and two lines of address in a slim format.
Box spine labels
Product names along the narrow side of boxes and cases.
Pen and tube labels
Brand strips on pens, lip gloss tubes and test tubes.
Getting the layout right
If the label wraps a narrow bottle, check the circumference: a 3 inch strip covers almost all of a 1 inch diameter bottle, so leave the seam area free of text.
Flat surfaces should measure 3.25 × 1.25 in or more. Used as a wrap, 3 in covers a bottle of about 1.03 in diameter almost completely.
3 × 1 in is 7% larger in area than 2.25 × 1.25 in; 2 × 1.5 in is 0% bigger still.

Common questions
Is 3x1 a good address label size?
Yes. 3 by 1 inch fits three short lines of address at 8 to 9 pt, similar to standard office address labels, and you can add a small logo on the left.
What will 3 × 1 in stickers cost me?
Budget $98.40 for 100 or $115.06 for a thousand ($0.115 per sticker), plus a single $45.00 setup charge.
How many 3 × 1 in labels come on a roll?
Roughly 11,500 (3″ core) / 3,000 (1″ core) when wound single file.
How do I set up 3 × 1 in label artwork?
Make the canvas 938 × 338 px (300 dpi) – that is 3.125 × 1.125 in including bleed – and keep text off the outer 1/16″.
