2 × 1.25 in labels

A 2 × 1.25 in label is 51 × 32 mm, a little smaller than a matchbook. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a wrap around the 10 ml roller bottle (2.35 in round) and the top of a 70 mm regular canning lid. Inside the safe area there is room for about 7 lines of roughly 30 characters at 8 pt, or a UPC-A barcode at 80% scale plus a product name. Searching for 1.25x2? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

Good uses for the 2 × 1.25 in size

Full wrap: 10 ml roller bottle

2 in around a 2.35 in body is a near-complete wrap; keep barcodes away from the 0.35 in seam.

Tops of 70 mm regular canning lids

The 2.55 in usable top takes it with a 0.25 in margin all round.

Return address

Name, street and postcode across 7 lines of up to 30 characters.

Asset and tool tags

Owner name and asset number on 51 × 32 mm; add a 0.95 in QR for tracking.

Design notes

Work on a 638 × 412 px file with a 1.875 × 1.125 in inner guide; below 7 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Test-wrap a paper print around a 10 ml roller bottle first; keep 0.1 in at each end free of text.

On flat packs allow 2.25 × 1.5 in. On round containers the 2 in side wraps a 0.72 in diameter or larger.

Compared with 2.5 × 1 in, 2 × 1.25 in has 0% more room – the next step, 5 × 0.5 in, adds 0%.
