Common applications
Where 8 × 12 in rectangle labels work well.
Menus, price boards and display signs
Large labels turn boards, menus and display stands into printed signs without a separate print shop.
Window, door and display stickers
Logos, opening hours and promotions on doors, windows and display cases; waterproof BOPP stands up to cleaning.
Bulk bags and sacks
Feed, soil, coffee and flour bags need a large label with the product, weight and batch.
Pails, buckets and large tubs
1 to 5 gallon pails and large tubs need a big front or lid label with the product name, contents and handling notes.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

As a sign-size classic rectangle, 8 × 12 in suits pallet and master-carton labels, menus, price boards and display signs and similar jobs. It has roughly 7% more space than a 7.5 × 12 in rectangle. The label covers about 96.00 sq in (203 × 305 mm) and has room for sign-style artwork: big graphics readable from across a room, or a full sheet of instructions, specs or a diagram.
Between sizes? Compare rectangle labels one step smaller: 7.5 × 12 in, 8.5 × 11 in and one step larger: 9 × 11 in, 9 × 12 in, or browse all label sizes.
Designing a 8 × 12 in rectangle label
Put the brand on the top third and the details below; on narrow strips run the name along the long side. Design at full size and check it from a few steps back: headline text should be large enough to read at a distance, and images need enough resolution for the print size (about 300 dpi at final size).

How much do 8 × 12 in rectangle labels cost?+
Expect roughly $550.63 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.551 per label; 250 come to about $219.08. 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 8 × 12 in rectangle labels fit on one roll?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 8 × 12 in rectangle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 260 to 390 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.
Can I order 12 × 8 in instead of 8 × 12 in?+
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 8 × 12 and 12 × 8 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 do I check that a 8 × 12 in label fits my container?+
Measure the flat or straight part of the container. The label needs a panel at least 8 in by 12 in, with a little margin. If you want it to wrap all the way around, the long side (12 in) covers a round container of about 3.9 in diameter with a small gap.
What is the smallest order of 8 × 12 in rectangle labels?+
Quantities start at 100 labels and every order has a $50 minimum. At this size 100 labels already come to about $145.30, so the minimum does not change your price; most of a small order is the fixed set-up part, which is why the price per label drops quickly as you order more.
How much text fits on a 8 × 12 in label?+
At about 96.00 sq in, think sign-style artwork: big graphics readable from across a room, or a full sheet of instructions, specs or a diagram. 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.
