8 × 1.75 in labels
Think of 8 × 1.75 in as a slim strip about 4.6 times as long as it is tall – 203 × 44 mm, or 14 square inches of artwork. Typical homes for it: a wrap around the 12 oz can (8.15 in round); a notebook cover (5.5 × 8.5 in). For copy, count on about 10 lines of roughly 134 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits. The same page covers 1.75 × 8: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Where 8 × 1.75 in labels work best
Full wrap: 12 oz can
8 in around an 8.15 in body is a near-complete wrap; keep barcodes away from the 0.15 in seam.
Notebook cover
Fills about 29% of a 5.5 × 8.5 in face, with 0.25 in and 1.9 in margins.
Bin and shelf signage
Bin fronts: a 36 pt heading and 8 lines of details across 8 in.
Pail and tub labels
8 in across a pail or tub side with 8 lines of product details.
Before you design
Set your canvas to 2438 × 562 px, put a 7.875 × 1.625 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 7 pt. Test-wrap a paper print around a 12 oz can first; keep 0.5 in at each end free of text.
For boxes and pouches allow 8.25 × 2 in of flat face. On cylinders the 8 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 2.63 in.
Over 3.5 × 4 in, 8 × 1.75 in offers 0% extra label area – the next size, 7 × 2 in, is 0% roomier.
