2.25 × 1.25 in labels

Hold up a matchbook and you have a feel for 2.25 × 1.25 in: a little smaller than it, 57 × 32 mm, 2.81 sq in. Typical homes for it: the top of an 8 oz candle tin lid; the top of an 86 mm wide-mouth lid. That is space for about 7 lines of roughly 34 characters at 8 pt – enough for a UPC-A barcode at 80% scale with a line or two above it. Ordering 1.25 wide by 2.25 tall?
