9 × 4 in labels

With 36 square inches across 229 × 102 mm, the 9 × 4 in size is a wide panel with a 2.2:1 ratio. Buyers usually put it on a wrap around the 750 ml wine bottle (9.25 in round) or a 2 lb stand-up pouch front (6.75 × 9.5 in). Text-wise, plan on about 27 lines of roughly 151 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. Need it the other way round? 4 × 9 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.

Ideas for 9 × 4 in labels

Full wrap: 750 ml wine bottle

9 in around a 9.25 in body is a near-complete wrap; keep barcodes away from the 0.25 in seam.

On a 2 lb stand-up pouch front

Covers roughly 56% of that 6.75 × 9.5 in area – branded without hiding the pack.

Pallet and tote labels

Totes and pallets: big type plus a barcode across 229 × 102 mm.

Box-top graphics

Turns a plain carton into branded packaging; supply 2738 × 1238 px at 300 dpi.

Artwork advice

Design to 2738 × 1238 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 8.875 × 3.875 in, and use 8 pt as the smallest size. On the 750 ml wine bottle, leave the last 0.5 in of each end plain so the seam never cuts through words.

On flat packs allow 9.25 × 4.25 in. On round containers the 9 in side wraps a 2.94 in diameter or larger.

Over 10 × 3.5 in, 9 × 4 in offers 3% extra label area – the next size, 8 × 4.5 in, is 0% roomier.

What is the maximum roll size for 9 × 4 in labels?

A full 3″-core roll carries around 3,100; small 1″ cores about 830. Bigger orders ship on several rolls.

How do I set up 9 × 4 in label artwork?

Make the canvas 2,738 × 1,238 px (300 dpi) – that is 9.125 × 4.125 in including bleed – and keep text off the outer 1/16″.
