Artwork checklist
The smallest readable type here is about 6 pt; everything that matters belongs inside 4.875 × 0.375 in. Place the barcode at least 0.3 in from either end – on the 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle the seam lands there.
For boxes and pouches allow 5.25 × 0.75 in of flat face. On cylinders the 5 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 1.67 in.
Compared with 2 × 1.25 in, 5 × 0.5 in has 0% more room, while the next step, 2.625 × 1 in, adds 5%.
