8 × 1.5 in labels
8 × 1.5 in labels measure 203 × 38 mm and give you 12 square inches – a slim strip about 5.3 times as long as it is tall. We checked it against common containers: it works for a wrap around the 12 oz can (8.15 in round) as well as a notebook cover (5.5 × 8.5 in). Expect about 9 lines of roughly 134 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. Portrait or landscape, 8 × 1.5 and 1.5 × 8 are one product here.

Good uses for the 8 × 1.5 in size
12 oz can wrap
Goes 8 in of the 8.15 in circumference, leaving a 0.15 in seam; the 1.5 in height stays under the 4 in wall.
Notebook cover label
Leaves 0.25 in at the sides and 2 in top and bottom on a 5.5 × 8.5 in surface.
Shipping and carton labels
8 × 1.5 in gives an address block, a 1D barcode and handling icons room to breathe (7 lines at 10 pt).
Locker and name strips
Cubby and mailbox names at 45 pt across an 8 in strip.
Print-ready tips
Keep text and logos inside a 7.875 × 1.375 in safe area and do not go below 7 pt. Wrapped jobs: nothing important within 0.5 in of the left and right ends, where the seam lands.
Leave room: 8.25 × 1.75 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 2.63 in across (with the 8 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
8 × 1.5 in is 0% larger in area than 6 × 2 in, and 12 × 1 in is 0% bigger still.
