2.5 × 1.5 in oval labels
A 2.5 × 1.5 in oval label is 64 × 38 mm, a little smaller than a sugar packet. Where it fits best: the top of an 8 oz candle tin lid, plus the top of an 86 mm wide-mouth lid. Text-wise, plan on about 7 lines of roughly 29 characters at 8 pt; a UPC-A barcode at 80% scale fits too.
