9 × 1.5 in labels
A 9 × 1.5 in label (229 × 38 mm) is a slim strip about 6 times as long as it is tall, with 13.5 sq in of printable face. We checked it against common containers: it works for a wrap around the 750 ml wine bottle (9.25 in round) as well as a 2 lb stand-up pouch front (6.75 × 9.5 in). Inside the safe area there is room for about 9 lines of roughly 151 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. The same page covers 1.5 × 9: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Common jobs for 9 × 1.5 in labels
Full wrap: 750 ml wine bottle
9 in around a 9.25 in body is a near-complete wrap; keep barcodes away from the 0.25 in seam.
2 lb stand-up pouch front
Fills about 21% of a 6.75 × 9.5 in face, with 0.25 in and 2.6 in margins.
Bottom-of-pack labels
Out-of-sight 9 in strip for ingredients, a barcode or the maker line.
Catering and tray labels
Tray lids: dish name plus 5 lines of allergen and heating info.
Getting the layout right
Guide lines first: 8.875 × 1.375 in for content, 2738 × 488 px for the full bleed canvas, 7 pt minimum type. On the 750 ml wine bottle, leave the last 0.5 in of each end plain so the seam never cuts through words.
For boxes and pouches allow 9.25 × 1.75 in of flat face. On cylinders the 9 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 2.94 in.
Over 3.75 × 3.5 in, 9 × 1.5 in offers 3% extra label area; the next size, 6 × 2.25 in, is 0% roomier.
