8 × 2.25 in labels
8 × 2.25 in labels measure 203 × 57 mm and give you 18 square inches – a slim strip about 3.6 times as long as it is tall. Where it fits best: a wrap around the 12 oz can (8.15 in round), plus a notebook cover (5.5 × 8.5 in). Layout budget: about 14 lines of roughly 134 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. Ordering 2.25 wide by 8 tall?

Layout tip
Guide lines first: 7.875 × 2.125 in for content, 2438 × 712 px for the full bleed canvas, 8 pt minimum type. Test-wrap a paper print around a 12 oz can first; keep 0.5 in at each end free of text.
A 8.25 × 2.5 in flat panel is ideal; for wraps pick containers around 2.63 in diameter or bigger for the 8 in length.
