4.5 × 3 in oval labels
A 4.5 × 3 in oval label is 114 × 76 mm, a little smaller than a 3 × 5 index card. Typical homes for it: a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in); a pint berry clamshell lid (5.5 × 4.25 in). That is space for about 14 lines of roughly 54 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it.
