5.5 × 1.75 in labels

5.5 × 1.75 in labels measure 140 × 44 mm and give you 9.62 square inches – a slim strip about 3.1 times as long as it is tall. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a wrap around the 4 oz spice jar (5.95 in round) and a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). That is space for about 10 lines of roughly 90 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Ordering 1.75 wide by 5.5 tall?

Where 5.5 × 1.75 in labels work best

4 oz spice jar wrap

Goes 5.5 in of the 5.95 in circumference, leaving a 0.45 in seam; the 1.75 in height stays under the 2.75 in wall.

4 × 9 in cello treat bag label

Leaves 0.25 in at the sides and 1 in top and bottom on a 3.75 × 6 in surface.

Bag and pouch fronts

Stock bags plus 140 × 44 mm labels replace custom-printed pouches until volumes grow.

Gift box tops

A 140 × 44 mm label brands a 6.5 × 3 in box lid with a margin all round.

Getting the layout right

The smallest readable type here is about 7 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 5.375 × 1.625 in. Place the barcode at least 0.35 in from either end – on the 4 oz spice jar the seam lands there.

Flat use: 5.75 × 2 in of face. Wrap use: about 1.83 in across or more, with 5.5 in going round.

Against 4.25 × 2.25 in you gain 1% more face with 5.5 × 1.75 in, and going up to 3.5 × 2.75 in gives 0% more.

5.5 × 1.75 in label questions

Will a 5.5 × 1.75 in label fit a 4 oz spice jar?

Usually yes. A typical 4 oz spice jar is about 1.9 in across (5.95 in around) with roughly 2.75 in of straight wall. 5.5 in around and 1.75 in tall fits that space; measure your own container, because bottle makers vary by a few millimetres.

How much are 5.5 × 1.75 in roll labels?

Starting at $141.81 (100 pcs); a run of 1,000 is $192.20, or $0.192 per label. Add $45.00 one-time setup.

How are 5.5 × 1.75 in labels wound?

One across on the roll, up to roughly 6,900 per 3″ core (1,800 on a 1″ core). You pick the unwind direction in the builder.

Which file types work for 5.5 × 1.75 in label artwork?

PDF, AI, EPS, SVG, PNG or JPG. For raster files use 1,688 × 563 px (300 dpi), which matches the 5.625 × 1.875 in bleed size.
