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.
How much are 1,000 1.25 × 9 in rectangle labels?+
On matte rolls, 250 labels are about $129.24 CAD, 1,000 about $157.53 and 5,000 about $373.92 ($0.075 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 1.25 × 9 in labels come on a roll?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 1.25 × 9 in rectangle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 350 to 2,300 labels. Where you land in that range depends on the unwind direction: the long side running along the roll gives fewer labels per roll. 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.
Is 1.25 × 9 in the same as 9 × 1.25 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.
What materials are available for 1.25 × 9 in labels?+
Matte BOPP is our default (about $157.53 for 1,000 at this size). Glossy is about $166.98, clear about $179.59 and freezer grade about $192.19 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.
Do 1.25 × 9 in labels get cheaper per label in bulk?+
The price per label falls as quantity goes up: about $0.517 each at 250, $0.158 at 1,000 and $0.075 at 5,000. For bigger runs, choose a custom quantity in the quote builder to see the exact total.
How do I check that a 1.25 × 9 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1.25 × 9 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 9 in length covers one about 2.9 in across, leaving a small gap.
