2.75 × 2 in oval labels

In metric, 2.75 × 2 in oval is 70 × 51 mm; in everyday terms, a little smaller than a business card. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits the top of an 8 oz candle tin lid and the top of an 86 mm wide-mouth lid. That is space for about 9 lines of roughly 32 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it.
