4 × 2 in oval labels

Hold up a business card and you have a feel for 4 × 2 in oval: a little smaller than it, 102 × 51 mm, 6.28 sq in. Typical homes for it: a #10 envelope address block (4.25 × 2.5 in); the front of a 32 oz quart mason jar. That is space for about 9 lines of roughly 48 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it.

Design tip for this size

Guide lines first: 3.875 × 1.875 in for content, 1238 × 638 px for the full bleed canvas, 8 pt minimum type. Round shapes lose the corners, so plan on about 78% of the bounding box for content and curve text along the edge if you need more.

For a neat result the surface should be flat over 4.25 × 2.25 in, about 108 mm.
