1.5 × 0.5 in labels
Think of 1.5 × 0.5 in as a slim strip about 3 times as long as it is tall – 38 × 13 mm, or 0.75 square inches of artwork. It is a natural fit for a wrap around the standard 0.15 oz lip balm tube (1.95 in round) and the top of a 48 mm jar lid. Treat it as a one-idea label: a logo, an icon or about 21 characters on a line. Portrait or landscape, 1.5 × 0.5 and 0.5 × 1.5 are one product here.

1.5 × 0.5 in labels: typical jobs
Standard 0.15 oz lip balm tube wrap
Goes 1.5 in of the 1.95 in circumference, leaving a 0.45 in seam; the 0.5 in height stays under the 1.9 in wall.
48 mm jar lids
About 1.75 in of flat top leaves roughly 0.1 in clear around this label.
Locker and name strips
1.5 in fits a full name at 15 pt for lockers, cubbies and mailboxes.
Cable and cord flags
Wrapped round a cable, 1.5 in leaves two 0.5 in tall flags for the device name.
Artwork checklist
Work on a 488 × 188 px file with a 1.375 × 0.375 in inner guide; below 6 pt, text blurs at arm's length. On the standard 0.15 oz lip balm tube, leave the last 0.1 in of each end plain so the seam never cuts through words.
Panels should be at least 1.75 × 0.75 in. Wrapping the 1.5 in side? Containers of about 0.56 in diameter and up work.
Over 1.25 × 0.5 in, 1.5 × 0.5 in offers 20% extra label area, while the next size, 1 × 0.75 in, is 0% roomier.
