3.5 × 1.5 in labels

Picture a sugar packet: 3.5 × 1.5 in (89 × 38 mm) is a little larger than that. Typical homes for it: a wrap around the 1 oz dropper bottle (4.1 in round); the top of a deli container lid. That is space for about 9 lines of roughly 56 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. The same page covers 1.5 × 3.5: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

3.5 × 1.5 in labels: typical jobs

1 oz dropper bottle wrap

Goes 3.5 in of the 4.1 in circumference, leaving a 0.6 in seam; the 1.5 in height stays under the 1.75 in wall.

Deli container lids

About 4.1 in of flat top leaves roughly 0.3 in clear around this label.

Ingredient and care panels

Roughly 504 characters of ingredients, care or directions at 8 pt.

Box seals

Across a lid seam, 3.5 in spans both sides by 1.75 in each.

Artwork checklist

Set your canvas to 1088 × 488 px, put a 3.375 × 1.375 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 7 pt. Test-wrap a paper print around a 1 oz dropper bottle first; keep 0.2 in at each end free of text.

Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 3.75 × 1.75 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 3.5 in length suits containers from roughly 1.19 in diameter up.

Compared with 4 × 1.25 in, 3.5 × 1.5 in has 5% more room, while the next step, 3 × 1.75 in, adds 0%.
