Common applications
Where 0.5 × 2 in rectangle labels work well.
Pens, pencils and slim items
A narrow strip adds a name or brand to pens, markers, tools and other thin items.
Test tubes, vials and lab samples
Narrow strips label tubes, vials and sample bags with codes or dates that need to survive handling and moisture.
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.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

0.5 × 2 in is a compact slim strip, sized for jobs like wire markers and tool tags and pens, pencils and slim items. That is about 33% more label area than the 0.5 × 1.5 in rectangle. The label covers about 1.00 sq in (13 × 51 mm) and has room for a logo plus a product name, or two or three short lines of text.
Between sizes? Compare rectangle labels one step smaller: 0.5 × 1.5 in, 0.75 × 1.25 in and one step larger: 0.75 × 1.5 in, 1 × 1.25 in, or browse all label sizes.
Designing a 0.5 × 2 in rectangle label
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.

0.5 × 2 in rectangle labels FAQ
Common
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.
What does an order of 0.5 × 2 in rectangle labels cost?+
On matte rolls, 250 labels are about $108.27 CAD, 1,000 about $121.58 and 5,000 about $124.51 ($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 × 2 in rectangle labels fit on one roll?+
Rolls are wound to order, so the count can be adjusted. Our guide figure is about 1,500 to 5,100 labels per single-lane roll, assuming a 3 in core and a roll 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. Tell us in the order notes if your applicator needs something different.
Will a 0.5 × 2 in label fit my bottle or jar?+
Measure the flat or straight part of the container. The label needs a panel at least 0.5 in by 2 in, with a little margin. If you want it to wrap all the way around, the long side (2 in) covers a round container of about 0.7 in diameter with a small gap.
Can I order 2 × 0.5 in instead of 0.5 × 2 in?+
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.
Is there a minimum order?+
The smallest quantity is 100 labels, and orders have a $50 minimum. 100 of these come to about $121.35, already above the minimum, so a short run is fine.
Can I get 0.5 × 2 in labels on sheets instead of rolls?+
Yes. The same size is available as label sheets, about $117.24 for 1,000 in matte, compared with about $121.58 on rolls. Pick the label type in the quote builder; rolls suit dispensers and applicators, sheets suit hand application.
