3.25 × 2.25 in oval labels

Picture a credit card: 3.25 × 2.25 in oval (83 × 57 mm) is a little smaller than that. Where it fits best: a soap box front (3.5 × 2.5 in), plus the top of a deli container lid. For copy, count on about 10 lines of roughly 38 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits.

Artwork advice

Design to 1012 × 712 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 3.125 × 2.125 in, and use 8 pt as the smallest size. Set any border at least 0.11 in inside the curve so small cutting drift is invisible.
