3.25 × 1.5 in labels
At 83 × 38 mm, this label is a little larger than a sugar packet, with 4.88 square inches to print on. Where it fits best: the top of a deli container lid, plus a soap box front (3.5 × 2.5 in). Text-wise, plan on about 9 lines of roughly 51 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. Need it the other way round? 1.5 × 3.25 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.

Where 3.25 × 1.5 in labels work best
Deli container lids
About 4.1 in of flat top leaves roughly 0.4 in clear around this label.
Soap box front
Fills about 55% of a 3.5 × 2.5 in face, with 0.1 in and 0.5 in margins.
Gift tags
Write-on gift tags: leave 0.75 in blank for a handwritten name.
Candle warning labels
The standard fire-safety wording fits 9 lines at 8 pt on a 3.25 × 1.5 in label.
Artwork checklist
Guide lines first: 3.125 × 1.375 in for content, 1012 × 488 px for the full bleed canvas, 7 pt minimum type. With 9 lines available at 8 pt, rank the information and drop anything a customer would not miss.
Leave room: 3.5 × 1.75 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 1.11 in across (with the 3.25 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
Over 2.75 × 1.75 in, 3.25 × 1.5 in offers 1% extra label area; the next size, 2.5 × 2 in, is 3% roomier. Moving up to 2.5 × 2 in costs about $5.09 more per 1,000.
