4.5 × 2.5 in labels
A 4.5 × 2.5 in label is 114 × 64 mm, a little larger than a playing card. Where it fits best: the front of a 32 oz quart mason jar, plus a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). Layout budget: about 16 lines of roughly 73 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. The same page covers 2.5 × 4.5: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.
