1.25 × 0.5 in labels
32 × 13 mm in metric: 1.25 × 0.5 in is a wide panel with a 2.5:1 ratio offering 0.62 sq in. Where it fits best: the top of a 48 mm jar lid, plus the top of a 2 oz tin lid. It carries a mark or a short word or two (around 17 characters at 8 pt), not a paragraph. Need it the other way round? 0.5 × 1.25 is the same label turned 90°, so it is priced and ordered here.
