4.5 × 3.25 in labels
At 114 × 83 mm, this label is a little smaller than a 3 × 5 index card, with 14.62 square inches to print on. Buyers usually put it on a 4 × 6 in postcard (6 × 4 in) or a pint berry clamshell lid (5.5 × 4.25 in). That is space for about 21 lines of roughly 73 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. 3.25 × 4.5 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.
