Common applications
Where 0.5 × 0.5 in square labels work well.
Nail polish and mini bottles
Nail polish, fragrance samples and essential oil minis take a very narrow strip or a tiny label that does not overwhelm the bottle.
Tiny date and code labels
Very small rectangles carry a date, lot code, colour or initials on tiny products, sample bags and parts.
Micro dots and tamper seals
Very small squares and circles seal sample bags, mark dates or close small boxes without covering the packaging.
Colour-coding dots
Mark sample sets, stock bins, files or test batches with a colour or a single letter so they can be sorted at a glance.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

Choose 0.5 × 0.5 in when you need a very small square; it works well for wire markers and tool tags and nail polish and mini bottles. The label covers about 0.25 sq in (13 × 13 mm) and has room for a logo, an initial, a colour or a short code; small text is hard to read at this size.

Designing a 0.5 × 0.5 in square label
Square labels are a good home for a QR code or icon grid because the space is used evenly. At this size keep the design to one or two elements and avoid fine lines and very small type.

How much do 0.5 × 0.5 in square labels cost?+
On matte rolls, 250 labels are about $127.51 CAD, 1,000 about $108.47 and 5,000 about $125.11 ($0.025 each). Prices are approximate, taken from our live price list on October 6, 2026. Enter your quantity in the quote builder for the exact total with standard shipping included.
How many 0.5 × 0.5 in labels come on a roll?+
Rolls are wound to order, so the count can be adjusted. Our guide figure is about 5,100 labels per single-lane roll, assuming a 3 in core and a roll up to 6 in across. Tell us in the order notes if your applicator needs something different.
Will a 0.5 × 0.5 in label fit my bottle or jar?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 0.5 × 0.5 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 0.5 in length covers one about 0.2 in across, leaving a small gap.
How much text fits on a 0.5 × 0.5 in label?+
At about 0.25 sq in, think a logo, an initial, a colour or a short code; small text is hard to read at this size. 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.
Square or circle at 0.5 in?+
Same price on rolls. The 0.5 × 0.5 in square gives 0.25 sq in against about 0.20 sq in for a 0.5 in circle, about 27% more room for text, while the circle sits more neatly on round lids.
Is there a minimum order?+
The smallest quantity is 100 labels, and orders have a $50 minimum. 100 of these come to about $127.28, already above the minimum, so a short run is fine.
