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.

We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 1.25 × 10 in rectangle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 310 to 2,300 labels. The range depends on whether the long or short side runs along the roll, which follows the unwind direction you choose. Larger orders are split over several rolls. If your dispenser or applicator needs a specific core, roll size or count per roll, add a note to your order.
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 1.25 × 10 and 10 × 1.25 in are the same price. For rolls, also pick the unwind direction so labels come off the roll the right way up for your product or applicator.
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1.25 × 10 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 10 in length covers one about 3.2 in across, leaving a small gap.
