Common applications
Where 0.5 × 1 in rectangle labels work well.
Nail polish and mini bottles
Nail polish, fragrance samples and essential oil minis take a very narrow strip or a tiny label that does not overwhelm the bottle.
Wire markers and tool tags
Tiny strips mark wires, small tools, keys and parts where a regular label will not fit.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

Designing a 0.5 × 1 in rectangle label
Put the brand on the top third and the details below; on narrow strips run the name along the long side. Small labels need bold, simple artwork: a strong logo and short words read better than a list.

0.5 × 1 in rectangle 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 × 1 in rectangle labels cost?+
Expect roughly $113.80 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.114 per label; 250 come to about $114.86. 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 0.5 × 1 in rectangle labels fit on one roll?+
Rolls are wound to order, so the count can be adjusted. Our guide figure is about 2,800 to 5,100 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.
How do I check that a 0.5 × 1 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 0.5 × 1 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 1 in length covers one about 0.4 in across, leaving a small gap.
Is 0.5 × 1 in the same as 1 × 0.5 in?+
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 0.5 × 1 and 1 × 0.5 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.
Which material should I choose for 0.5 × 1 in rectangle labels?+
Four stocks are available: matte (about $113.80 per 1,000 here), glossy ($120.63), clear ($129.73) and freezer grade ($138.83). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
Is there a minimum order?+
Quantities start at 100 labels and every order has a $50 minimum. At this size 100 labels already come to about $127.42, 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.
