9 × 2.5 in labels
With 22.5 square inches across 229 × 64 mm, the 9 × 2.5 in size is a slim strip about 3.6 times as long as it is tall. Typical homes for it: a wrap around the 750 ml wine bottle (9.25 in round); a 2 lb stand-up pouch front (6.75 × 9.5 in). Layout budget: about 16 lines of roughly 151 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. Portrait or landscape, 9 × 2.5 and 2.5 × 9 are one product here.

Popular uses for 9 × 2.5 in labels
750 ml wine bottle wrap
Goes 9 in of the 9.25 in circumference, leaving a 0.25 in seam; the 2.5 in height stays under the 4.6 in wall.
On a 2 lb stand-up pouch front
Covers roughly 35% of that 6.75 × 9.5 in area – branded without hiding the pack.
Gift box tops
Box lids around 10 × 3.5 in take it with half an inch to spare.
Bag and pouch fronts
The whole brand panel on one 9 × 2.5 label – no printed bags needed for small runs.
Design notes
Work on a 2738 × 788 px file with an 8.875 × 2.375 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Place the barcode at least 0.5 in from either end – on the 750 ml wine bottle the seam lands there.
For boxes and pouches allow 9.25 × 2.75 in of flat face. On cylinders the 9 in side wraps neatly once the diameter is at least 2.94 in.
9 × 2.5 in is 2% larger in area than 11 × 2 in, while 6 × 3.75 in is 0% bigger still.

Your 9 × 2.5 in questions answered
Will a 9 × 2.5 in label fit a 750 ml wine bottle?
In most cases. Common 750 ml wine bottles measure near 2.95 in in diameter, so the circumference is 9.25 in, and the straight wall is about 4.6 in tall. This label (9 × 2.5 in) sits within that – still, check your supplier's drawing.
Is there a minimum order for 9 × 2.5 in labels?
Yes, 100 labels; that run is $151.54. At 1,000 you pay $288.95, near $0.289 apiece, and artwork setup adds $45.00 once.
How many 9 × 2.5 in labels come on a roll?
Roughly 4,900 (3″ core) / 1,300 (1″ core) when wound single file.
Do 9 × 2.5 in labels need bleed?
Yes – add 1/16″ on each side for 9.125 × 2.625 in overall (2,738 × 788 px at 300 dpi) and keep text inside the cut line.
