4.25 × 2.25 in labels
Hold up a credit card and you have a feel for 4.25 × 2.25 in: a little larger than it, 108 × 57 mm, 9.56 sq in. Buyers usually put it on the front of a 32 oz quart mason jar or a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 14 lines of roughly 69 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. The same page covers 2.25 × 4.25: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Good uses for the 4.25 × 2.25 in size
Face label: 32 oz quart mason jar
A 3.6 in diameter leaves the 4.25 in face nearly flat to the eye, about 37% of the circumference.
On a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag
Covers roughly 42% of that 3.75 × 6 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Bin and shelf signage
Bin fronts: a 36 pt heading and 11 lines of details across 4.25 in.
Promotional decals
At 108 × 57 mm it reads from 7 ft; artwork should be 1312 × 712 px.
Artwork checklist
Work on a 1312 × 712 px file with a 4.125 × 2.125 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Leave at least 0.09 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
For boxes and pouches allow 4.5 × 2.5 in of flat face. On cylinders the 4.25 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 1.43 in.
Compared with 3.75 × 2.5 in, 4.25 × 2.25 in has 2% more room, and the next step, 5.5 × 1.75 in, adds 1%. Stepping up to 5.5 × 1.75 in adds about $0.29 per 1,000 labels.
