5 × 1.5 in labels
5 × 1.5 in labels measure 127 × 38 mm and give you 7.5 square inches – a slim strip about 3.3 times as long as it is tall. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a wrap around the 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle (5.5 in round) and a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). Layout budget: about 9 lines of roughly 82 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. 1.5 × 5 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Work on a 1538 × 488 px file with a 4.875 × 1.375 in inner guide; below 7 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Test-wrap a paper print around a 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle first; keep 0.3 in at each end free of text.
Flat surfaces should measure 5.25 × 1.75 in or more. Used as a wrap, 5 in covers a bottle of about 1.67 in diameter almost completely.

Good to know
Is 5x1.5 the same as 1.5x5?
Same label, different orientation. 5 × 1.5 in rotated is 1.5 × 5 in; the price does not change, and the unwind direction you choose decides how it feeds off the roll.
How are 5 × 1.5 in labels priced?
The live engine quotes $140.53 for the minimum run of 100, then $178.03 at 1,000 – about $0.178 per piece – before the $45.00 setup.
How many rolls will my 5 × 1.5 in order come on?
Each 3″-core roll holds about 8,000 and each 1″-core roll about 2,100, so divide your quantity by that to estimate the number of rolls.
How do I set up 5 × 1.5 in label artwork?
Make the canvas 1,538 × 488 px (300 dpi) – that is 5.125 × 1.625 in including bleed – and keep text off the outer 1/16″.
