2 × 0.5 in labels
With 1 square inches across 51 × 13 mm, the 2 × 0.5 in size is a slim strip about 4 times as long as it is tall. Typical homes for it: a wrap around the 10 ml roller bottle (2.35 in round); the top of a 63 mm jar lid. Keep it to one element – 30 characters, a number or a small logo. The same page covers 0.5 × 2: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Common jobs for 2 × 0.5 in labels
10 ml roller bottle wrap
Goes 2 in of the 2.35 in circumference, leaving a 0.35 in seam; the 0.5 in height stays under the 2 in wall.
Lid label: 63 mm jar lid
Sits inside the 2.3 in flat area with 0.15 in of rim showing – no lifting at the edge.
Locker and name strips
Cubby and mailbox names at 15 pt across a 2 in strip.
Cable and cord flags
Fold a 2 in strip around a cord so the 0.5 in tag shows on both sides of the fold.
Print-ready tips
Guide lines first: 1.875 × 0.375 in for content, 638 × 188 px for the full bleed canvas, 6 pt minimum type. Place the barcode at least 0.1 in from either end – on the 10 ml roller bottle the seam lands there.
Leave room: 2.25 × 0.75 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 0.72 in across (with the 2 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
Against 1.25 × 0.75 in you gain 7% more face with 2 × 0.5 in, and going up to 1.5 × 0.75 in gives 13% more.
