Common applications

Trial sizes, sachets and sample cards need a small label with the product name and a short line of copy.
Short codes, prices and batch or lot numbers you add to products and shelves in small text.
A compact rectangle fits the back of small products, tags and cards with a price, SKU or short description.
Add your logo to plain boxes, bags, tissue and mailers so stock packaging looks custom.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

Between sizes? Compare rectangle labels one step smaller: 0.75 × 3.5 in, 1 × 2.75 in and one step larger: 1.5 × 2 in, 1 × 3 in, or browse all label sizes.
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.

About $127.28 CAD for 1,000 ($0.127 each) and $117.21 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $153.61, or $0.031 per label. These are approximate prices from our live price list as of October 6, 2026; the quote builder shows your exact price, including standard shipping, before you add to cart.
Typically about 1,300 to 2,300 per roll, based on one lane of labels on a 3 in core wound up to 6 in across. The range depends on whether the long or short side runs along the roll, which follows the unwind direction you choose. Bigger orders ship on more than one roll, and you can ask for a set count per roll in your order notes.
Matte BOPP is our default (about $127.28 for 1,000 at this size). Glossy is about $134.92, clear about $145.10 and freezer grade about $155.28 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.
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.
The smallest quantity is 100 labels, and orders have a $50 minimum. 100 of these come to about $108.85, already above the minimum, so a short run is fine.
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1.25 × 2.25 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 2.25 in length covers one about 0.8 in across, leaving a small gap.
