Designing a 5.5 × 9 in rectangle label
Leave the right edge clear if the label wraps a bottle, so the overlap or gap does not cut through text. Large labels are easy to overfill; group information into blocks and keep the brand clear from a distance.

How many labels per roll for 5.5 × 9 in rectangle labels?+
Typically about 350 to 560 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.
Is 5.5 × 9 in the same as 9 × 5.5 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 much cheaper are 5.5 × 9 in rectangle labels in larger runs?+
The price per label falls as quantity goes up: about $0.646 each at 250, $0.365 at 1,000 and $0.194 at 5,000. For bigger runs, choose a custom quantity in the quote builder to see the exact total.
What materials are available for 5.5 × 9 in labels?+
Four stocks are available: matte (about $364.58 per 1,000 here), glossy ($386.46), clear ($415.63) and freezer grade ($444.79). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
How much text fits on a 5.5 × 9 in label?+
At about 49.50 sq in, think a full panel with directions, nutrition facts or a long ingredient list plus a barcode. 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.
