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 $368.81 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.369 per label; 250 come to about $162.85. 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 260 to 690 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.
Measure the flat or straight part of the container. The label needs a panel at least 4.5 in by 12 in, with a little margin. If you want it to wrap all the way around, the long side (12 in) covers a round container of about 3.9 in diameter with a small gap.
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 full panel with directions, nutrition facts or a long ingredient list plus a barcode. 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.
Matte BOPP is our default (about $368.81 for 1,000 at this size). Glossy is about $390.94, clear about $420.45 and freezer grade about $449.95 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.
