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.
On matte rolls, 250 labels are about $141.60 CAD, 1,000 about $275.33 and 5,000 about $761.42 ($0.152 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.
Rolls are wound to order, so the count can be adjusted. Our guide figure is about 520 to 620 labels per single-lane roll, assuming a 3 in core and a roll 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. Tell us in the order notes if your applicator needs something different.
Matte BOPP is our default (about $275.33 for 1,000 at this size). Glossy is about $291.85, clear about $313.88 and freezer grade about $335.90 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.

Measure the flat or straight part of the container. The label needs a panel at least 5 in by 6 in, with a little margin. If you want it to wrap all the way around, the long side (6 in) covers a round container of about 1.9 in diameter with a small gap.
5 × 6 in is about 127 × 152 mm. You can switch the quote builder to centimetres and enter the size in cm if your packaging is specified in metric.
