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 1 × 4.5 in rectangle labels cost?+
About $128.26 CAD for 1,000 ($0.128 each) and $123.60 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $198.29, or $0.040 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 labels per roll for 1 × 4.5 in rectangle labels?+
Typically about 690 to 2,800 per roll, based on one lane of labels on a 3 in core wound 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. Bigger orders ship on more than one roll, and you can ask for a set count per roll in your order notes.
Is 1 × 4.5 in the same as 4.5 × 1 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 big is 1 × 4.5 in in metric?+
1 × 4.5 in is about 25 × 114 mm. You can switch the quote builder to centimetres and enter the size in cm if your packaging is specified in metric.
