3.25 × 2 in labels
At 83 × 51 mm, this label is a little smaller than a business card, with 6.5 square inches to print on. Typical homes for it: the top of a deli container lid; a #10 envelope address block (4.25 × 2.5 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 12 lines of roughly 51 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. Searching for 2x3.25? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.

Design tip for this size
Set your canvas to 1012 × 638 px, put a 3.125 × 1.875 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. Group the must-read items in the top 1.2 in so they show even when products are stacked.
Leave room: 3.5 × 2.25 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 1.11 in across (with the 3.25 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
3.25 × 2 in gives you 2% more printable area than 4.25 × 1.5 in, and 3.75 × 1.75 in has 1% more again. Per thousand, 3.75 × 1.75 in is roughly $0.47 dearer.
