1.5 × 1.25 in labels
With 1.88 square inches across 38 × 32 mm, the 1.5 × 1.25 in size is a near-square landscape shape. Buyers usually put it on a wrap around the standard 0.15 oz lip balm tube (1.95 in round) or the top of a 58 mm jar lid. Text-wise, plan on about 7 lines of roughly 21 characters at 8 pt; a UPC-A barcode at 80% scale fits too. Searching for 1.25x1.5? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

Where 1.5 × 1.25 in labels work best
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 1.25 in height stays under the 1.9 in wall.
Tops of 58 mm jar lids
The 2.1 in usable top takes it with a 0.3 in margin all round.
Return address
7 lines at 8 pt (21 characters each) – name, street, city and postcode on one 1.5 × 1.25 in label.
Vials and test tubes
Lab and sample IDs: 7 short lines at 8 pt on 38 × 32 mm.
Design notes
Guide lines first: 1.375 × 1.125 in for content, 488 × 412 px for the full bleed canvas, 7 pt minimum type. Test-wrap a paper print around a standard 0.15 oz lip balm tube first; keep 0.1 in at each end free of text.
Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 1.75 × 1.5 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 1.5 in length suits containers from roughly 0.56 in diameter up.
1.5 × 1.25 in gives you 0% more printable area than 2.5 × 0.75 in; 2 × 1 in has 7% more again.
