2 × 4 in oval labels FAQ

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 do 2 × 4 in oval labels cost?+
Expect roughly $141.73 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.142 per label; 250 come to about $129.08. 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 2 × 4 in oval labels fit on one roll?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 2 × 4 in oval labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 770 to 1,500 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.
Is 2 × 4 in the same as 4 × 2 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.
Oval or rectangle at 2 × 4 in?+
They are the same price on rolls. A 2 × 4 in oval has about 6.28 sq in of label compared with 8.00 sq in for the rectangle, so plan a centred badge layout and keep long lines away from the narrow ends.
How do I check that a 2 × 4 in label fits my container?+
Measure the flat or straight part of the container. The label needs a panel at least 2 in by 4 in, with a little margin. If you want it to wrap all the way around, the long side (4 in) covers a round container of about 1.3 in diameter with a small gap.
What is 2 × 4 in in millimetres?+
2 × 4 in is about 51 × 102 mm. You can switch the quote builder to centimetres and enter the size in cm if your packaging is specified in metric.
