3.5 × 3 in labels
At 89 × 76 mm, this label is a little larger than a square sticky note, with 10.5 square inches to print on. Where it fits best: the front of an 8 oz candle tumbler, plus a 4 × 4 in gift box lid (4 × 4 in). Layout budget: about 19 lines of roughly 56 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. Ordering 3 wide by 3.5 tall?

Getting the layout right
Keep text and logos inside a 3.375 × 2.875 in safe area and do not go below 8 pt. Leave at least 0.12 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 3.75 × 3.25 in; wrapped around a bottle, the 3.5 in length suits containers from roughly 1.19 in diameter up.
3.5 × 3 in is 0% larger in area than 6 × 1.75 in, and 4.25 × 2.5 in is 1% bigger still. 4.25 × 2.5 in adds around $0.59 to a 1,000-label order.
