Designing a 2 × 5.5 in rectangle label
Decide on portrait or landscape first; the quote builder prices both the same, and the unwind direction sets how the roll comes off. A label this big can carry the whole story, but leave white space so the product name still stands out.

Common

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 do 2 × 5.5 in rectangle labels cost?+
About $153.97 CAD for 1,000 ($0.154 each) and $128.62 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $355.97, or $0.071 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 2 × 5.5 in labels come on a roll?+
Typically about 560 to 1,500 per roll, based on one lane of labels on a 3 in core wound 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. Bigger orders ship on more than one roll, and you can ask for a set count per roll in your order notes.
How do I check that a 2 × 5.5 in label fits my container?+
Measure the flat or straight part of the container. The label needs a panel at least 2 in by 5.5 in, with a little margin. If you want it to wrap all the way around, the long side (5.5 in) covers a round container of about 1.8 in diameter with a small gap.
What is 2 × 5.5 in in millimetres?+
About 51 × 140 mm. If your packaging drawings are metric, switch the quote builder to CM and type the size directly.
Can I order 5.5 × 2 in instead of 2 × 5.5 in?+
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 2 × 5.5 and 5.5 × 2 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.
What materials are available for 2 × 5.5 in labels?+
Four stocks are available: matte (about $153.97 per 1,000 here), glossy ($163.21), clear ($175.53) and freezer grade ($187.85). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
