4.5 × 1.25 in labels
A 4.5 × 1.25 in label (114 × 32 mm) is a slim strip about 3.6 times as long as it is tall, with 5.62 sq in of printable face. We checked it against common containers: it works for a wrap around the 2 oz Boston round (5.05 in round) as well as a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). For copy, count on about 7 lines of roughly 73 characters at 8 pt. A UPC-A barcode at 80% scale also fits. Searching for 1.25x4.5? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

What 4.5 × 1.25 in labels are used for
Full wrap: 2 oz Boston round
4.5 in around a 5.05 in body is a near-complete wrap; keep barcodes away from the 0.55 in seam.
4 × 9 in cello treat bag label
Leaves 0.75 in at the sides and 1.25 in top and bottom on a 3.75 × 6 in surface.
Box bands
A 1.25 in tall band across a 2.75 in wide box adds branding and a tamper check.
Candle warning labels
The standard fire-safety wording fits 7 lines at 8 pt on a 4.5 × 1.25 in label.
Print-ready tips
Guide lines first: 4.375 × 1.125 in for content, 1388 × 412 px for the full bleed canvas, 7 pt minimum type. Wrapped jobs: nothing important within 0.25 in of the left and right ends, where the seam lands.
For boxes and pouches allow 4.75 × 1.5 in of flat face. On cylinders the 4.5 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 1.51 in.
Against 2.75 × 2 in you gain 2% more face with 4.5 × 1.25 in, while going up to 3.75 × 1.5 in gives 0% more.
