3 × 2 in oval labels
The 3 by 2 inch oval is the most popular oval label. On 8 oz jars, candles and bottles it gives an artisan, farmhouse look that a rectangle of the same size cannot, and it leaves the corners of the container clear, which many brands find cleaner on glass.

Print-ready tips
Keep text inside an imaginary rectangle of about 2.2 by 1.3 inches so the curved edges never crowd words, and let a background colour run all the way to the bleed.
Fit check: you need a flat area of at least 3.25 × 2.25 in (83 mm wide) so the edge of the 3 × 2 in oval stays off rims and curves.
