8 × 2.75 in labels
Hold up a banknote and you have a feel for 8 × 2.75 in: a little larger than it, 203 × 70 mm, 22 sq in. Buyers usually put it on a wrap around the 12 oz can (8.15 in round) or the front of a 1 gallon paint can. Inside the safe area there is room for about 18 lines of roughly 134 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. 2.75 × 8 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Ideas for 8 × 2.75 in labels
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.
Face label: 1 gallon paint can
A 6.6 in diameter leaves the 8 in face nearly flat to the eye, about 38% of the circumference.
Pail and tub labels
8 in across a pail or tub side with 14 lines of product details.
Promotional decals
Readable from about 8 ft; supply art at 2438 × 862 px.
Artwork advice
Work on a 2438 × 862 px file with a 7.875 × 2.625 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. On the 12 oz can, leave the last 0.5 in of each end plain so the seam never cuts through words.
Flat use: 8.25 × 3 in of face. Wrap use: about 2.63 in across or more, with 8 in going round.
5 × 4.25 in is the next size down, and 8 × 2.75 in adds 4%; the larger 5.5 × 4 in adds 0% on top.

Questions about this size
Will an 8 × 2.75 in label fit a 12 oz can?
Usually yes. A typical 12 oz can is about 2.6 in across (8.15 in around) with roughly 4 in of straight wall. 8 in around and 2.75 in tall fits that space; measure your own container, because bottle makers vary by a few millimetres.
What do 1,000 8 × 2.75 in labels cost?
1,000 cost $285.54 – $0.286 a label – while the smallest run (100) is $151.19. The $45.00 artwork setup is charged once.
Do 8 × 2.75 in labels work in a label dispenser?
Yes. Ask for a 3″ core for table-top dispensers (about 4,500 a roll) or a 1″ core for handheld ones (about 1,100).
What resolution is needed for 8 × 2.75 in labels?
300 dpi: 2,438 × 863 px. That covers the 8.125 × 2.875 in bleed area; vector PDF or SVG avoids resolution worries altogether.
