3.25 × 3.25 in square labels

A 3.25 × 3.25 in label is 83 × 83 mm, a little larger than a square sticky note. Typical homes for it: a 4 × 4 in gift box lid (4 × 4 in); a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). Layout budget: about 21 lines of roughly 51 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable.

Artwork advice

The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 3.125 × 3.125 in. Leave at least 0.13 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.

Fit check: as a front label it needs a flat panel of about 3.5 × 3.5 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 3.25 in length suits containers from roughly 1.11 in diameter up.

3 × 3 in is the next size down, and 3.25 × 3.25 in adds 17%, while the larger 3.5 × 3.5 in adds 16% on top. Stepping up to 3.5 × 3.5 in adds about $7.92 per 1,000 labels.
