12 × 2 in labels
12 × 2 in labels measure 305 × 51 mm and give you 24 square inches – a slim strip about 6 times as long as it is tall. Text-wise, plan on about 12 lines of roughly 203 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. 2 × 12 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Artwork checklist
Set your canvas to 3638 × 638 px, put an 11.875 × 1.875 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. With only 2 in of height, choose a condensed font and keep one idea per strip.
Flat use: 12.25 × 2.25 in of face. Wrap use: about 3.9 in across or more, with 12 in going round.
12 × 2 in gives you 0% more printable area than 8 × 3 in, while 7 × 3.5 in has 2% more again.
