2.25 × 2 in labels
Think of 2.25 × 2 in as a near-square landscape shape – 57 × 51 mm, or 4.5 square inches of artwork. Buyers usually put it on the top of an 86 mm wide-mouth lid or the front of a 4 oz Boston round. For copy, count on about 12 lines of roughly 34 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits. Portrait or landscape, 2.25 × 2 and 2 × 2.25 are one product here.

Where 2.25 × 2 in labels work best
Lid label: 86 mm wide-mouth lid
Sits inside the 3.2 in flat area with 0.5 in of rim showing – no lifting at the edge.
Front of a 4 oz Boston round
Covers about 36% of the way round a 1.95 in body, so the whole label reads face-on.
Box seals
Across a lid seam, 2.25 in spans both sides by 1.1 in each.
Retail price cards
Price large (57 pt) with a short description beneath on 57 × 51 mm.
Artwork checklist
Design to 712 × 638 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 2.125 × 1.875 in, and use 8 pt as the smallest size. Leave at least 0.08 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 2.5 × 2.25 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 2.25 in length suits containers from roughly 0.8 in diameter up.
Area-wise 2.25 × 2 in beats 3 × 1.5 in by 0%, and 3.75 × 1.25 in offers another 4%. Expect around $7.63 more per 1,000 for the larger 3.75 × 1.25 in.
