Common applications
Where 0.5 × 2.5 in rectangle labels work well.
Test tubes, vials and lab samples
Narrow strips label tubes, vials and sample bags with codes or dates that need to survive handling and moisture.
Wire markers and tool tags
Tiny strips mark wires, small tools, keys and parts where a regular label will not fit.
Cables, cords and chargers
Strips that wrap a cord or sit on a plug make it easy to tell chargers and cables apart.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

As a compact long, narrow strip, 0.5 × 2.5 in suits pens, pencils and slim items, test tubes, vials and lab samples and similar jobs. It has roughly 25% more space than a 0.5 × 2 in rectangle. The label covers about 1.25 sq in (13 × 64 mm) and has room for a logo plus a product name, or two or three short lines of text.
Not quite right? Compare rectangle labels one step smaller: 0.75 × 1.5 in, 1 × 1.25 in and one step larger: 0.75 × 1.75 in, 1 × 1.5 in, or browse all label sizes.
Designing a 0.5 × 2.5 in rectangle label
Leave the right edge clear if the label wraps a bottle, so the overlap or gap does not cut through text. Small labels need bold, simple artwork: a strong logo and short words read better than a list.

questions.
Prices and roll counts on this page are estimates. The quote builder gives your exact price before checkout, and every order starts with a free proof.
How much are 1,000 0.5 × 2.5 in rectangle labels?+
Expect roughly $124.65 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.125 per label; 250 come to about $109.45. The table above lists more quantities. Your exact price, with standard shipping, appears in the quote builder as soon as you set the quantity.
How many 0.5 × 2.5 in labels come on a roll?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 0.5 × 2.5 in rectangle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 1,200 to 5,100 labels. Where you land in that range depends on the unwind direction: the long side running along the roll gives fewer labels per roll. Larger orders are split over several rolls. If your dispenser or applicator needs a specific core, roll size or count per roll, add a note to your order.
Is 0.5 × 2.5 in the same as 2.5 × 0.5 in?+
It is the same label turned 90 degrees, and the price is identical. Type the size the way your artwork reads (portrait or landscape), then choose the unwind direction that suits how you apply the labels.
Will a 0.5 × 2.5 in label fit my bottle or jar?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 0.5 × 2.5 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 2.5 in length covers one about 0.8 in across, leaving a small gap.
What materials are available for 0.5 × 2.5 in labels?+
Matte BOPP is our default (about $124.65 for 1,000 at this size). Glossy is about $132.13, clear about $142.10 and freezer grade about $152.07 for the same 1,000. All of them are waterproof; choose freezer grade for cold or frozen products and clear for a no-label look.
How much cheaper are 0.5 × 2.5 in rectangle labels in larger runs?+
Yes. Per label, expect about $0.438 at 250, $0.125 at 1,000 and $0.025 at 5,000. Choose Custom quantity in the quote builder for anything larger.
