Design tip for this size

On narrow tall labels avoid long horizontal words; break the product name onto two lines or set it vertically along the label.

Flat surfaces should measure 2.25 × 4.25 in or more. Used as a wrap, 2 in covers a bottle of about 0.72 in diameter almost completely.

Over 4 × 2 in, 2 × 4 in offers 0% extra label area; the next size, 8 × 1 in, is 0% roomier.
