Designing a 1 × 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. There is room for hierarchy here: one large element, one medium line and small supporting text.

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 1 × 5 in rectangle labels cost?+
About $128.61 CAD for 1,000 ($0.129 each) and $125.17 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $212.84, or $0.043 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 × 5 in rectangle labels?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 1 × 5 in rectangle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 620 to 2,800 labels. The range depends on whether the long or short side runs along the roll, which follows the unwind direction you choose. Larger orders are split over several rolls. If your dispenser or applicator needs a specific core, roll size or count per roll, add a note to your order.
Is 1 × 5 in the same as 5 × 1 in?+
Yes. Enter the width and height the way your artwork reads; 1 × 5 and 5 × 1 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 much text fits on a 1 × 5 in label?+
At about 5.00 sq in, think a brand, product name and a few lines such as flavour, weight or a short description. 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.
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 $113.81, 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.
How do I check that a 1 × 5 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1 × 5 in of flat or gently curved surface. Wrapped around a round container, a 5 in length covers one about 1.6 in across, leaving a small gap.
