9 × 3 in labels

229 × 76 mm in metric: 9 × 3 in is a slim strip about 3 times as long as it is tall offering 27 sq in. 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). Layout budget: about 19 lines of roughly 151 characters at 8 pt; with a full-size UPC-A barcode the rest of the face stays usable. The same page covers 3 × 9: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.
