3.5 × 2.25 in labels
Picture a credit card: 3.5 × 2.25 in (89 × 57 mm) is a little larger than that. We checked it against common containers: it works for the front of an 8 oz candle tumbler as well as the front of a 16 oz pint mason jar. For copy, count on about 14 lines of roughly 56 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits. 2.25 × 3.5 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Ideas for 3.5 × 2.25 in labels
Face label: 8 oz candle tumbler
A 3.1 in diameter leaves the 3.5 in face nearly flat to the eye, about 35% of the circumference.
16 oz pint mason jar front label
At 3.5 in wide it spans roughly 37% of the 9.4 in girth – no text curls out of view.

Design notes
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 3.375 × 2.125 in. With 14 lines available at 8 pt, rank the information and drop anything a customer would not miss.
For boxes and pouches allow 3.75 × 2.5 in of flat face. On cylinders the 3.5 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 1.19 in.
4.5 × 1.75 in is the next size down, and 3.5 × 2.25 in adds 0% – the larger 4 × 2 in adds 2% on top. Per thousand, 4 × 2 in is roughly $0.94 dearer.

Good to know
Is 3.5x2.25 the same as 2.25x3.5?
Yes – it is one label turned 90°. We list width first (3.5 in) and height second (2.25 in); on a roll you choose which edge comes off first in the builder, so both orientations use this page and the same price.
What will 3.5 × 2.25 in stickers cost me?
Budget $140.78 for 100 or $180.84 for a thousand ($0.181 per sticker), plus a single $45.00 setup charge.
How many 3.5 × 2.25 in labels fit on one roll?
Up to about 5,400 on a 3″ core or 1,400 on a 1″ core. Fewer per roll costs the same.
What size should my artwork be for 3.5 × 2.25 in labels?
3.625 × 2.375 in with bleed, which is 1,088 × 713 px at 300 dpi. Keep words 1/16″ inside the edge.
