Common applications
Where 2.25 × 8 in rectangle labels work well.
Candle jar wraparounds
Tumblers and mason-style candle jars take a band that wraps the vessel, so the scent name shows from every side.
Full bottle wraparounds
A long label wraps all the way around a round bottle or jar, with the front design on one side and the details on the back.
Binder, book and archive box spines
Narrow labels for binder spines, archive boxes and book spines carry a title, date range or catalogue number.
These are typical uses, not requirements. Measure your container first; the FAQ below shows how.

Designing a 2.25 × 8 in rectangle label
Put the brand on the top third and the details below; on narrow strips run the name along the long side. A label this big can carry the whole story, but leave white space so the product name still stands out.

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.
How much are 1,000 2.25 × 8 in rectangle labels?+
Expect roughly $189.98 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.190 per label; 250 come to about $129.27. 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 labels per roll for 2.25 × 8 in rectangle labels?+
Typically about 390 to 1,300 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 2.25 × 8 in the same as 8 × 2.25 in?+
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 2.25 × 8 and 8 × 2.25 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 2.25 × 8 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 2.25 × 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.
What is 2.25 × 8 in in millimetres?+
2.25 × 8 in is about 57 × 203 mm. You can switch the quote builder to centimetres and enter the size in cm if your packaging is specified in metric.
Are 2.25 × 8 in rectangle labels only available on rolls?+
Yes. The same size is available as label sheets, about $183.19 for 1,000 in matte, compared with about $189.98 on rolls. Pick the label type in the quote builder; rolls suit dispensers and applicators, sheets suit hand application.
