3.5 × 2.75 in labels
Picture a playing card: 3.5 × 2.75 in (89 × 70 mm) is a little larger than that. Where it fits best: a 4 × 4 in gift box lid (4 × 4 in), plus the front of an 8 oz candle tumbler. For copy, count on about 18 lines of roughly 56 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits. Portrait or landscape, 3.5 × 2.75 and 2.75 × 3.5 are one product here.
