With 3.93 square inches across 64 × 51 mm, the 2.5 × 2 in oval size is a near-square landscape shape. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits the top of an 8 oz candle tin lid and the top of an 86 mm wide-mouth lid. For copy, count on about 9 lines of roughly 29 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits.

Before you design
Set your canvas to 788 × 638 px, put a 2.375 × 1.875 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. Set any border at least 0.1 in inside the curve so small cutting drift is invisible.
Leave margin: a flat face of 2.75 × 2.25 in (70 mm across) keeps the 2.5 × 2 in oval clear of edges.
Against 3 × 1.5 in oval you gain 11% more face with 2.5 × 2 in oval, and going up to 3 × 1.75 in oval gives 5% more. Expect around $10.18 more per 1,000 for the larger 3 × 1.75 in oval.
