Artwork checklist
Design to 188 × 188 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 0.375 × 0.375 in, and use 6 pt as the smallest size. Leave at least 0.06 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
On flat packs allow 0.75 × 0.75 in. On round containers the 0.5 in side wraps a 0.24 in diameter or larger.
0.75 × 0.75 in adds 125% more.

Questions about this size
How much text fits on a 0.5 × 0.5 in label?
About 4 characters at 8 pt (1 lines × 4), or 3 at 10 pt. Most good labels use far less – a name, one benefit and the required details.

Yes, 100 labels; that run is $205.24. At 1,000 you pay $196.76, near $0.197 apiece, and artwork setup adds $45.00 once.
Do 0.5 × 0.5 in labels work in a label dispenser?
Yes. Ask for a 3″ core for table-top dispensers (about 21,000 a roll) or a 1″ core for handheld ones (about 5,500).
What size should my artwork be for 0.5 × 0.5 in labels?
0.625 × 0.625 in with bleed, which is 188 × 188 px at 300 dpi. Keep words 1/16″ inside the edge.
