Design tip for this size
A 2.5 by 2 inch front label on a bottle often pairs with a slim back label for ingredients; plan both together so fonts and colours match.
A 2.75 × 2.25 in flat panel is ideal; for wraps pick containers around 0.88 in diameter or bigger for the 2.5 in length.
Against 3.25 × 1.5 in you gain 3% more face with 2.5 × 2 in, and going up to 5 × 1 in gives 0% more.
