Designing a 1.25 × 7 in rectangle label
Decide on portrait or landscape first; the quote builder prices both the same, and the unwind direction sets how the roll comes off. There is room for hierarchy here: one large element, one medium line and small supporting text.

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 1.25 × 7 in rectangle labels cost?+
Expect roughly $144.99 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.145 per label; 250 come to about $129.11. The table above lists more quantities. Your exact price, with standard shipping, appears in the quote builder as soon as you set the quantity.
How many 1.25 × 7 in rectangle labels fit on one roll?+
Typically about 440 to 2,300 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.
Which material should I choose for 1.25 × 7 in rectangle labels?+
Matte BOPP is our default (about $144.99 for 1,000 at this size). Glossy is about $153.69, clear about $165.29 and freezer grade about $176.89 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.
How do I check that a 1.25 × 7 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1.25 × 7 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 7 in length covers one about 2.3 in across, leaving a small gap.
Is 1.25 × 7 in the same as 7 × 1.25 in?+
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 1.25 × 7 and 7 × 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.
How much text fits on a 1.25 × 7 in label?+
At about 8.75 sq in, think a brand, product name and a few lines such as flavour, weight or a short description. 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.
