Designing a 1 × 6 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.
How much are 1,000 1 × 6 in rectangle labels?+
On matte rolls, 250 labels are about $127.41 CAD, 1,000 about $131.95 and 5,000 about $242.25 ($0.048 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 × 6 in labels come on a roll?+
Typically about 520 to 2,800 per roll, based on one lane of labels on a 3 in core wound 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. 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 × 6 in rectangle labels?+
Four stocks are available: matte (about $131.95 per 1,000 here), glossy ($139.87), clear ($150.43) and freezer grade ($160.98). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
How do I check that a 1 × 6 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1 × 6 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 6 in length covers one about 1.9 in across, leaving a small gap.
Can I order 6 × 1 in instead of 1 × 6 in?+
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 1 × 6 and 6 × 1 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 × 6 in label?+
At about 6.00 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.
