It has roughly 20% more space than a 0.75 × 2.5 in rectangle. The label covers about 2.25 sq in (19 × 76 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: 1.25 × 1.75 in, 1 × 2.25 in and one step larger: 1.25 × 2 in, 1 × 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. Small labels need bold, simple artwork: a strong logo and short words read better than a list.

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 $127.48 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.127 per label; 250 come to about $114.84. The table above lists more quantities. Your exact price, with standard shipping, appears in the quote builder as soon as you set the quantity.
Rolls are wound to order, so the count can be adjusted. Our guide figure is about 1,000 to 3,600 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.
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.
At about 2.25 sq in, think a logo plus a product name, or two or three short lines of text. 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.
The price per label falls as quantity goes up: about $0.459 each at 250, $0.127 at 1,000 and $0.029 at 5,000. For bigger runs, choose a custom quantity in the quote builder to see the exact total.
