2.5 × 1.5 in labels
At 64 × 38 mm, this label is a little smaller than a sugar packet, with 3.75 square inches to print on. Where it fits best: the top of an 86 mm wide-mouth lid, plus a business card (3.5 × 2 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 9 lines of roughly 38 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. Searching for 1.5x2.5? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

Before you design
The smallest readable type here is about 7 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 2.375 × 1.375 in. Leave at least 0.06 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
Leave room: 2.75 × 1.75 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 0.88 in across (with the 2.5 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
3 × 1.25 in is the next size down, and 2.5 × 1.5 in adds 0%, while the larger 2.25 × 1.75 in adds 5% on top.
