Who orders 3.5 × 0.5 in labels
1 oz dropper bottle wrap
Goes 3.5 in of the 4.1 in circumference, leaving a 0.6 in seam; the 0.5 in height stays under the 1.75 in wall.
Lid label: deli container lid
Sits inside the 4.1 in flat area with 0.3 in of rim showing – no lifting at the edge.
Cable and cord flags
Fold a 3.5 in strip around a cord so the 0.5 in tag shows on both sides of the fold.
Spine and edge labels
Drawer fronts and file spines take the 0.5 in height; one 8 pt line holds 56 characters.
