5.5 × 1.75 in labels
5.5 × 1.75 in labels measure 140 × 44 mm and give you 9.62 square inches – a slim strip about 3.1 times as long as it is tall. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a wrap around the 4 oz spice jar (5.95 in round) and a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). That is space for about 10 lines of roughly 90 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Ordering 1.75 wide by 5.5 tall?

Where 5.5 × 1.75 in labels work best
4 oz spice jar wrap
Goes 5.5 in of the 5.95 in circumference, leaving a 0.45 in seam; the 1.75 in height stays under the 2.75 in wall.
4 × 9 in cello treat bag label
Leaves 0.25 in at the sides and 1 in top and bottom on a 3.75 × 6 in surface.
Bag and pouch fronts
Stock bags plus 140 × 44 mm labels replace custom-printed pouches until volumes grow.
Gift box tops
A 140 × 44 mm label brands a 6.5 × 3 in box lid with a margin all round.
Getting the layout right
The smallest readable type here is about 7 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 5.375 × 1.625 in. Place the barcode at least 0.35 in from either end – on the 4 oz spice jar the seam lands there.
Flat use: 5.75 × 2 in of face. Wrap use: about 1.83 in across or more, with 5.5 in going round.
Against 4.25 × 2.25 in you gain 1% more face with 5.5 × 1.75 in, and going up to 3.5 × 2.75 in gives 0% more.
