3 × 1.25 in labels
In metric, 3 × 1.25 in is 76 × 32 mm; in everyday terms, a little smaller than a sugar packet. It is a natural fit for the top of a deli container lid and the front of an 8 oz regular-mouth mason jar. Layout budget: about 7 lines of roughly 47 characters at 8 pt; with a UPC-A barcode at 80% scale the rest of the face stays usable. 1.25 × 3 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Before you design
Set your canvas to 938 × 412 px, put a 2.875 × 1.125 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 7 pt. With 7 lines available at 8 pt, rank the information and drop anything a customer would not miss.
On flat packs allow 3.25 × 1.5 in. On round containers the 3 in side wraps a 1.03 in diameter or larger.
Area-wise 3 × 1.25 in beats 5 × 0.75 in by 0%; 2.5 × 1.5 in offers another 0%.
