3.25 × 1.75 in labels

Hold up a business card and you have a feel for 3.25 × 1.75 in: a little smaller than it, 83 × 44 mm, 5.69 sq in. Buyers usually put it on the top of a deli container lid or a soap box front (3.5 × 2.5 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 10 lines of roughly 51 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. 1.75 × 3.25 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.
