9 × 2 in labels
A 9 × 2 in label (229 × 51 mm) is a slim strip about 4.5 times as long as it is tall, with 18 sq in of printable face. Buyers usually put it on a wrap around the 750 ml wine bottle (9.25 in round) or a 2 lb stand-up pouch front (6.75 × 9.5 in). Expect about 12 lines of roughly 151 characters at 8 pt, and a full-size UPC-A barcode if you need one. Ordering 2 wide by 9 tall? Use this page and set the orientation on your artwork.

Flat use: 9.25 × 2.25 in of face. Wrap use: about 2.94 in across or more, with 9 in going round.

Common questions
Will a 9 × 2 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 in) sits within that – still, check your supplier's drawing.
How much do 9 × 2 in labels cost?
$148.38 for 100 and $258.25 for 1,000 ($0.258 each) on matte white paper today, plus $45.00 setup once per design.
Can I get 9 × 2 in labels on a 1 inch core?
Yes – roughly 1,600 max on 1″ (handheld dispensers), versus 6,100 on the standard 3″ core.
How do I avoid blurry 9 × 2 in labels?
Send at least 2,738 × 638 px for raster art – 300 dpi across the 9.125 × 2.125 in bleed area – or a vector PDF.
