9 × 4.5 in labels
In metric, 9 × 4.5 in is 229 × 114 mm; in everyday terms, a little smaller than a half-letter sheet. 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). Inside the safe area there is room for about 30 lines of roughly 151 characters at 8 pt, or a full-size UPC-A barcode plus a product name. 4.5 × 9 is simply this size in the other orientation – same die, same price.

Popular uses for 9 × 4.5 in labels

On a 2 lb stand-up pouch front

Design notes
Design to 2738 × 1388 px at 300 dpi, keep important type inside 8.875 × 4.375 in, and use 8 pt as the smallest size. Test-wrap a paper print around a 750 ml wine bottle first; keep 0.5 in at each end free of text.
Leave room: 9.25 × 4.75 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 2.94 in across (with the 9 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
Against 8 × 5 in you gain 1% more face with 9 × 4.5 in – going up to 8.25 × 5 in gives 2% more. Going one size bigger costs roughly $0.01 more per thousand.
