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 2 × 2.5 in oval labels?+
About $129.17 CAD for 1,000 ($0.129 each) and $125.32 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $215.49, or $0.043 per label. These are approximate prices from our live price list as of October 6, 2026; the quote builder shows your exact price, including standard shipping, before you add to cart.
How many 2 × 2.5 in oval labels fit on one roll?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 2 × 2.5 in oval labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 1,200 to 1,500 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.
Oval or rectangle at 2 × 2.5 in?+
They are the same price on rolls. A 2 × 2.5 in oval has about 3.93 sq in of label compared with 5.00 sq in for the rectangle, so plan a centred badge layout and keep long lines away from the narrow ends.
Can I order 2.5 × 2 in instead of 2 × 2.5 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.
Will a 2 × 2.5 in label fit my bottle or jar?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 2 × 2.5 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 2.5 in length covers one about 0.8 in across, leaving a small gap.
How much text fits on a 2 × 2.5 in label?+
Plan for a brand, product name and a few lines such as flavour, weight or a short description. Keep important text and logos a little inside the cut line (about 1/16 in, 1.5 mm, is a good rule of thumb) and use a background that runs past the edge as bleed.
