1.25 × 3.5 in labels
1.25 × 3.5 in is often searched as a lip balm label size, so measure first: a standard 0.15 oz lip balm tube is only about 0.6 inch across, so a full wrap for it is closer to 2 inches long. Run as a wrap, the 3.5 inch side suits jumbo balm, deodorant-style and 1 oz push-up sticks around 1 inch in diameter, and laid flat it fits the front of slim lip balm boxes and display cards. Buyers usually put it on the top of a deli container lid or a #10 envelope address block (4.25 × 2.5 in). Layout budget: about 23 lines of roughly 17 characters at 8 pt.
