4 × 0.5 in labels
Think of 4 × 0.5 in as a slim strip about 8 times as long as it is tall – 102 × 13 mm, or 2 square inches of artwork. Treat it as a one-idea label: a logo, an icon or about 64 characters on a line. 0.5 × 4 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Design notes
Set your canvas to 1238 × 188 px, put a 3.875 × 0.375 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 6 pt. Long strips: put the key word at the left, where the eye starts, and keep any code at the right end.
Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 4.25 × 0.75 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 4 in length suits containers from roughly 1.35 in diameter up.
