5 × 2.25 in labels
In metric, 5 × 2.25 in is 127 × 57 mm; in everyday terms, a little smaller than a 3 × 5 index card. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a wrap around the 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle (5.5 in round) and a 4 × 9 in cello treat bag (3.75 × 6 in). That is space for about 14 lines of roughly 82 characters at 8 pt – enough for a full-size UPC-A barcode with a line or two above it. Portrait or landscape, 5 × 2.25 and 2.25 × 5 are one product here.

Design notes
Keep text and logos inside a 4.875 × 2.125 in safe area and do not go below 8 pt. On the 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle, leave the last 0.3 in of each end plain so the seam never cuts through words.
For boxes and pouches allow 5.25 × 2.5 in of flat face. On cylinders the 5 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 1.67 in.
5 × 2.25 in has 2% more space than 11 × 1 in; 4.5 × 2.5 in adds 0% more.

FAQ
Will a 5 × 2.25 in label fit a 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottle?
In most cases. Common 5 oz woozy hot sauce bottles measure near 1.75 in in diameter, so the circumference is 5.5 in, and the straight wall is about 2.75 in tall. This label (5 × 2.25 in) sits within that – still, check your supplier's drawing.

How many rolls will my 5 × 2.25 in order come on?
Each 3″-core roll holds about 5,400 and each 1″-core roll about 1,400, so divide your quantity by that to estimate the number of rolls.
Which file types work for 5 × 2.25 in label artwork?
