Common applications
Where 0.5 in circle labels work well.
Vial and sample caps
Small rounds sit on the caps of sample vials, perfume testers and tiny jars, where a full label would not fit.
Micro dots and tamper seals
Very small squares and circles seal sample bags, mark dates or close small boxes without covering the packaging.
Lip balm lids and tube ends
A small round or square on the lid of a lip balm tube or tin carries your logo where people see it first.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

A half-inch circle is a tiny dot label: think colour coding, sample vials, or a small logo mark. Keep artwork very simple at this size. The label covers about 0.20 sq in (13 mm) and has room for a logo, an initial, a colour or a short code; small text is hard to read at this size.

Designing a 0.5 in circle label
Centre the main element. Circles are cut on a round die, so anything near the edge is the first thing to look off-centre. At this size keep the design to one or two elements and avoid fine lines and very small type.

0.5 in circle labels FAQ
Common
questions.
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.
What does an order of 0.5 in circle labels cost?+
About $108.47 CAD for 1,000 ($0.108 each) and $127.51 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $125.11, or $0.025 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 0.5 in labels come on a roll?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 0.5 in circle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 5,100 labels. 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.
Circle or square at 0.5 in?+
On rolls they cost the same, because shape is not priced. A 0.5 in circle gives about 0.20 sq in of label against 0.25 sq in for a 0.5 × 0.5 in square, so pick the square if you need the corners for text and the circle for lids and seals.
What is 0.5 in in millimetres?+
About 13 mm. If your packaging drawings are metric, switch the quote builder to CM and type the size directly.
How do I know a 0.5 in circle fits my lid?+
Measure the flat part of the lid, not the outside rim. A 0.5 in circle sits comfortably on a flat area of about 0.75 in (19 mm) or more, which leaves roughly 1/8 in all round. If the flat area is smaller, look at the next size down.
What can I fit on a 0.5 in circle label?+
At about 0.20 sq in, think a logo, an initial, a colour or a short code; small text is hard to read at this size. 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.
