Need a little more or less room? Compare rectangle labels one step smaller: 1 × 4.5 in, 0.75 × 6 in and one step larger: 1.5 × 3.25 in, 2 × 2.5 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. There is room for hierarchy here: one large element, one medium line and small supporting text.

1.25 × 3.75 in rectangle labels FAQ
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.
Expect roughly $128.30 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.128 per label; 250 come to about $124.21. The table above lists more quantities. Your exact price, with standard shipping, appears in the quote builder as soon as you set the quantity.
Typically about 820 to 2,300 per roll, based on one lane of labels on a 3 in core wound up to 6 in across. Where you land in that range depends on the unwind direction: the long side running along the roll gives fewer labels per roll. Bigger orders ship on more than one roll, and you can ask for a set count per roll in your order notes.
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1.25 × 3.75 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 3.75 in length covers one about 1.2 in across, leaving a small gap.
Four stocks are available: matte (about $128.30 per 1,000 here), glossy ($136.00), clear ($146.26) and freezer grade ($156.52). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
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.
Plan for a brand, product name and a few lines such as flavour, weight or a short description. Keep important text and logos a little inside the cut line (about 1/16 in, 1.5 mm, is a good rule of thumb) and use a background that runs past the edge as bleed.
