These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

Designing a 5 × 8 in rectangle label
Leave the right edge clear if the label wraps a bottle, so the overlap or gap does not cut through text. Large labels are easy to overfill; group information into blocks and keep the brand clear from a distance.

How much do 5 × 8 in rectangle labels cost?+
On matte rolls, 250 labels are about $154.16 CAD, 1,000 about $335.96 and 5,000 about $918.30 ($0.184 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 5 × 8 in rectangle labels fit on one roll?+
Rolls are wound to order, so the count can be adjusted. Our guide figure is about 390 to 620 labels per single-lane roll, assuming a 3 in core and a roll 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. Tell us in the order notes if your applicator needs something different.
Is 5 × 8 in the same as 8 × 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.
How do I check that a 5 × 8 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 5 × 8 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 8 in length covers one about 2.6 in across, leaving a small gap.
How much cheaper are 5 × 8 in rectangle labels in larger runs?+
Yes. Per label, expect about $0.617 at 250, $0.336 at 1,000 and $0.184 at 5,000. Choose Custom quantity in the quote builder for anything larger.
What is 5 × 8 in in millimetres?+
5 × 8 in is about 127 × 203 mm. You can switch the quote builder to centimetres and enter the size in cm if your packaging is specified in metric.
