4.5 × 3.5 in labels
In metric, 4.5 × 3.5 in is 114 × 89 mm; in everyday terms, a little larger than a 3 × 5 index card. Where it fits best: a 4 × 6 in postcard (6 × 4 in), plus a pint berry clamshell lid (5.5 × 4.25 in). Expect about 23 lines of roughly 73 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. Need it the other way round? 3.5 × 4.5 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.

4.5 × 3.5 in labels: typical jobs
4 × 6 in postcard label
Leaves 0.75 in at the sides and 0.25 in top and bottom on a 6 × 4 in surface.
On a pint berry clamshell lid
Covers roughly 67% of that 5.5 × 4.25 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Catering and tray labels
Menu item, allergens and reheating notes – 18 lines at 10 pt.
Promotional decals
Readable from about 10.5 ft; supply art at 1388 × 1088 px.
Before you design
Work on a 1388 × 1088 px file with a 4.375 × 3.375 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Leave at least 0.14 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
Leave room: 4.75 × 3.75 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 1.51 in across (with the 4.5 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
7 × 2.25 in is the next size down, and 4.5 × 3.5 in adds 0%; the larger 4.25 × 3.75 in adds 1% on top. The bigger 4.25 × 3.75 in runs about $5.10 extra for 1,000.

How much text fits on a 4.5 × 3.5 in label?
At 8 pt, roughly 23 lines of 73 characters inside a 1/8 in safe margin; at 10 pt about 18 lines of 58. Shorter lines with more space read faster on a shelf.

Do 4.5 × 3.5 in labels work in a label dispenser?
Yes. Ask for a 3″ core for table-top dispensers (about 3,500 a roll) or a 1″ core for handheld ones (about 940).
How do I avoid blurry 4.5 × 3.5 in labels?
Send at least 1,388 × 1,088 px for raster art – 300 dpi across the 4.625 × 3.625 in bleed area – or a vector PDF.
