Promotional decals
At 114 × 57 mm it reads from 7 ft; artwork should be 1388 × 712 px.
Getting the layout right
Set your canvas to 1388 × 712 px, put a 4.375 × 2.125 in guide inside it, and nothing smaller than 8 pt. Group the must-read items in the top 1.35 in so they show even when products are stacked.
A 4.75 × 2.5 in flat panel is ideal; for wraps pick containers around 1.51 in diameter or bigger for the 4.5 in length.
Against 5 × 2 in you gain 1% more face with 4.5 × 2.25 in; going up to 3.75 × 2.75 in gives 2% more. Going one size bigger costs roughly $0.88 more per thousand.
