2.25 × 1.5 in labels
Hold up a matchbook and you have a feel for 2.25 × 1.5 in: a little larger than it, 57 × 38 mm, 3.38 sq in. Buyers usually put it on the top of an 8 oz candle tin lid or the top of an 86 mm wide-mouth lid. Inside the safe area there is room for about 9 lines of roughly 34 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. Need it the other way round? 1.5 × 2.25 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.

Artwork advice
Work on a 712 × 488 px file with a 2.125 × 1.375 in inner guide; below 7 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Print a 100% test and view it from 4 ft – if the name is not clear, enlarge it before adding details.
A 2.5 × 1.75 in flat panel is ideal; for wraps pick containers around 0.8 in diameter or bigger for the 2.25 in length.
