3 × 1.5 in labels
3 × 1.5 in works out to 76 × 38 mm – a little larger than a sugar packet. It is a natural fit for the top of a deli container lid and a business card (3.5 × 2 in). Expect about 9 lines of roughly 47 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. Ordering 1.5 wide by 3 tall? Use this page and set the orientation on your artwork.

Getting the layout right
Guide lines first: 2.875 × 1.375 in for content, 938 × 488 px for the full bleed canvas, 7 pt minimum type. Leave at least 0.06 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
Flat surfaces should measure 3.25 × 1.75 in or more. Used as a wrap, 3 in covers a bottle of about 1.03 in diameter almost completely.
Compared with 4.5 × 1 in, 3 × 1.5 in has 0% more room, while the next step, 2.25 × 2 in, adds 0%.
