5 × 2.5 in labels
Hold up a 3 × 5 index card and you have a feel for 5 × 2.5 in: a little smaller than it, 127 × 64 mm, 12.5 sq in. Where it fits best: a wrap around the 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle (5.5 in round), plus a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). Expect about 16 lines of roughly 82 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. Searching for 2.5x5? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

5 × 2.5 in labels: typical jobs
5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle wrap
Goes 5 in of the 5.5 in circumference, leaving a 0.5 in seam; the 2.5 in height stays under the 2.75 in wall.
4 × 9 in cello treat bag
Fills about 55% of a 3.75 × 6 in face, with 0.5 in and 0.6 in margins.
Instruction panels
How-to text for kits and devices: about 1312 characters.
Pail and tub labels
5 in across a pail or tub side with 12 lines of product details.
Layout tip
Set your canvas to 1538 × 788 px, put a 4.875 × 2.375 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. Wrapped jobs: nothing important within 0.3 in of the left and right ends, where the seam lands.
On flat packs allow 5.25 × 2.75 in. On round containers the 5 in side wraps a 1.67 in diameter or larger.
5 × 2.5 in has 1% more space than 4.5 × 2.75 in, while 4.25 × 3 in adds 2% more. Going one size bigger costs roughly $1.18 more per thousand.

Frequently asked
Will a 5 × 2.5 in label fit a 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle?
Usually yes. A typical 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle is about 1.75 in across (5.5 in around) with roughly 2.75 in of straight wall. 5 in around and 2.5 in tall fits that space; measure your own container, because bottle makers vary by a few millimetres.
How much do 5 × 2.5 in labels cost?
$143.08 for 100 and $205.69 for 1,000 ($0.206 each) on matte white paper today, plus $45.00 setup once per design.
How many 5 × 2.5 in labels fit on one roll?
Up to about 4,900 on a 3″ core or 1,300 on a 1″ core. Fewer per roll costs the same.
How do I avoid blurry 5 × 2.5 in labels?
Send at least 1,538 × 788 px for raster art – 300 dpi across the 5.125 × 2.625 in bleed area – or a vector PDF.
