3.25 × 1.25 in labels
A 3.25 × 1.25 in label (83 × 32 mm) is a wide panel with a 2.6:1 ratio, with 4.06 sq in of printable face. It is a natural fit for the top of a deli container lid and a business card (3.5 × 2 in). That is space for about 7 lines of roughly 51 characters at 8 pt – enough for a UPC-A barcode at 80% scale with a line or two above it. The same page covers 1.25 × 3.25: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Common questions
Is 3.25x1.25 the same as 1.25x3.25?
Same label, different orientation. 3.25 × 1.25 in rotated is 1.25 × 3.25 in; the price does not change, and the unwind direction you choose decides how it feeds off the roll.
What does a run of 3.25 × 1.25 in labels cost?
Prices drop with volume: 100 labels are $62.05, 1,000 are $87.89 ($0.088 each). One $45.00 setup applies per design.
Do 3.25 × 1.25 in labels work in a label dispenser?
Yes. Ask for a 3″ core for table-top dispensers (about 9,400 a roll) or a 1″ core for handheld ones (about 2,500).
What resolution is needed for 3.25 × 1.25 in labels?
300 dpi: 1,013 × 413 px. That covers the 3.375 × 1.375 in bleed area; vector PDF or SVG avoids resolution worries altogether.
