3 × 2.25 in labels
Hold up a credit card and you have a feel for 3 × 2.25 in: a little smaller than it, 76 × 57 mm, 6.75 sq in. Buyers usually put it on the top of a deli container lid or a #10 envelope address block (4.25 × 2.5 in). Text-wise, plan on about 14 lines of roughly 47 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. Searching for 2.25x3? That is this label rotated; the price is identical.
