3.25 × 3 in labels

Picture a square sticky note: 3.25 × 3 in (83 × 76 mm) is a little larger than that. We checked it against common containers: it works for a 4 × 4 in gift box lid (4 × 4 in) as well as the front of a 24 oz insulated bottle. Text-wise, plan on about 19 lines of roughly 51 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. 3 × 3.25 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Who orders 3.25 × 3 in labels

4 × 4 in gift box lid label

Leaves 0.4 in at the sides and 0.5 in top and bottom on a 4 × 4 in surface.

Face label: 24 oz insulated bottle

A 2.9 in diameter leaves the 3.25 in face nearly flat to the eye, about 35% of the circumference.

Shipping and carton labels

Bin fronts: a 36 pt heading and 15 lines of details across 3.25 in.

Print-ready tips

Keep text and logos inside a 3.125 × 2.875 in safe area and do not go below 8 pt. Group the must-read items in the top 1.8 in so they show even when products are stacked.

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

Compared with 3.5 × 2.75 in, 3.25 × 3 in has 1% more room, while the next step, 2.5 × 4 in, adds 3%. Going one size bigger costs roughly $1.17 more per thousand.
