1.5 × 1 in labels
A 1.5 by 1 inch rectangle is a compact label for small products. It is common on cosmetic samples, small boxes and as a price or batch label where a circle would waste space.

Before you design
On very small rectangles, choose a bold, condensed font and set the product name larger than any other line; secondary text can drop to 6 pt.
Flat use: 1.75 × 1.25 in of face. Wrap use: about 0.56 in across or more, with 1.5 in going round.
Compared with 1.75 × 0.75 in, 1.5 × 1 in has 14% more room, while the next step, 3 × 0.5 in, adds 0%.

Good to know
What fits on a 1.5x1 inch label?
A product name and one or two short lines (size, batch number or website) at 6 to 8 pt. It is too small for ingredient lists.
Is there a minimum order for 1.5 × 1 in labels?
Yes, 100 labels; that run is $156.67. At 1,000 you pay $159.62, near $0.160 apiece, and artwork setup adds $45.00 once.
How many 1.5 × 1 in labels fit on one roll?
Up to about 11,500 on a 3″ core or 3,000 on a 1″ core. Fewer per roll costs the same.
How do I set up 1.5 × 1 in label artwork?
Make the canvas 488 × 338 px (300 dpi) – that is 1.625 × 1.125 in including bleed – and keep text off the outer 1/16″.
