3 × 2.75 in labels
In metric, 3 × 2.75 in is 76 × 70 mm; in everyday terms, a little smaller than a square sticky note. We checked it against common containers: it works for the front of a 12 oz can as well as a jewelry box lid (3.5 × 3.5 in). Text-wise, plan on about 18 lines of roughly 47 characters at 8 pt; a full-size UPC-A barcode fits too. The same page covers 2.75 × 3: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Ideas for 3 × 2.75 in labels
Front of a 12 oz can
Covers about 36% of the way round a 2.6 in body, so the whole label reads face-on.
On a jewelry box lid
Covers roughly 67% of that 3.5 × 3.5 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Box seals
Across a lid seam, 3 in spans both sides by 1.5 in each.
Gift tags
Write-on gift tags: leave 1.4 in blank for a handwritten name.
Design notes
The smallest readable type here is about 8 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 2.875 × 2.625 in. Leave at least 0.11 in between the cut line and any border you draw, or slight drift looks uneven.
Panels should be at least 3.25 × 3 in. Wrapping the 3 in side? Containers of about 1.03 in diameter and up work.
3 × 2.75 in has 0% more space than 5.5 × 1.5 in, while 3.75 × 2.25 in adds 2% more. Stepping up to 3.75 × 2.25 in adds about $1.41 per 1,000 labels.
