5.5 × 2.75 in labels: typical jobs
4 oz spice jar wrap
Goes 5.5 in of the 5.95 in circumference, leaving a 0.45 in seam; the 2.75 in height stays under the 2.75 in wall.
4 × 6 in postcard
Fills about 63% of a 6 × 4 in face, with 0.25 in and 0.6 in margins.
Bin and shelf signage
Bin fronts: a 36 pt heading and 14 lines of details across 5.5 in.
Bag and pouch fronts
The whole brand panel on one 5.5 × 2.75 label – no printed bags needed for small runs.
Before you design
Keep text and logos inside a 5.375 × 2.625 in safe area and do not go below 8 pt. Place the barcode at least 0.35 in from either end – on the 4 oz spice jar the seam lands there.
Flat surfaces should measure 5.75 × 3 in or more. Used as a wrap, 5.5 in covers a bottle of about 1.83 in diameter almost completely.
Compared with 10 × 1.5 in, 5.5 × 2.75 in has 1% more room; the next step, 7 × 2.25 in, adds 4%. Stepping up to 7 × 2.25 in adds about $16.99 per 1,000 labels.
