Designing a 1.5 × 6.5 in rectangle label
Put the brand on the top third and the details below; on narrow strips run the name along the long side. A label this big can carry the whole story, but leave white space so the product name still stands out.

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 1.5 × 6.5 in rectangle labels?+
About $148.05 CAD for 1,000 ($0.148 each) and $128.67 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $327.82, or $0.066 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.
How many 1.5 × 6.5 in labels come on a roll?+
Typically about 480 to 1,900 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.
How much text fits on a 1.5 × 6.5 in label?+
At about 9.75 sq in, think a full front label with a description, or a back label with ingredients and directions. A good rule of thumb is to keep text about 1/16 in (1.5 mm) inside the cut line and run backgrounds past the edge.
How do I check that a 1.5 × 6.5 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1.5 × 6.5 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 6.5 in length covers one about 2.1 in across, leaving a small gap.
Which material should I choose for 1.5 × 6.5 in rectangle labels?+
Four stocks are available: matte (about $148.05 per 1,000 here), glossy ($156.93), clear ($168.78) and freezer grade ($180.62). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
How much cheaper are 1.5 × 6.5 in rectangle labels in larger runs?+
Yes. Per label, expect about $0.515 at 250, $0.148 at 1,000 and $0.066 at 5,000. Choose Custom quantity in the quote builder for anything larger.
