3.5 × 3.5 in square labels
3.5 × 3.5 in works out to 89 × 89 mm – a little larger than a square sticky note. Buyers usually put it on a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in) or a pint berry clamshell lid (5.5 × 4.25 in). Text-wise, plan on about 23 lines of roughly 56 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too.

Artwork advice
Work on a 1088 × 1088 px file with a 3.375 × 3.375 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Print a 100% test and view it from 9 ft – if the name is not clear, enlarge it before adding details.
For boxes and pouches allow 3.75 × 3.75 in of flat face. On cylinders the 3.5 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 1.19 in.
3.5 × 3.5 in has 16% more space than 3.25 × 3.25 in, and 3.75 × 3.75 in adds 15% more. Moving up to 3.75 × 3.75 in costs about $8.51 more per 1,000.
