2.75 × 2.5 in labels
In metric, 2.75 × 2.5 in is 70 × 64 mm; in everyday terms, a little smaller than a playing card. Buyers usually put it on the top of a deli container lid or a jewelry box lid (3.5 × 3.5 in). That is space for about 16 lines of roughly 43 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Ordering 2.5 wide by 2.75 tall?
