Designing a 1 × 8 in rectangle label
Leave the right edge clear if the label wraps a bottle, so the overlap or gap does not cut through text. 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.
What does an order of 1 × 8 in rectangle labels cost?+
Expect roughly $141.20 CAD for 1,000 matte roll labels at this size, which works out to $0.141 per label; 250 come to about $128.93. 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 1 × 8 in rectangle labels?+
We wind rolls to your order. As a guide, a single-lane roll of 1 × 8 in rectangle labels on a 3 in core and up to 6 in across holds about 390 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 × 8 in the same as 8 × 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.
Which material should I choose for 1 × 8 in rectangle labels?+
Four stocks are available: matte (about $141.20 per 1,000 here), glossy ($149.67), clear ($160.96) and freezer grade ($172.26). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
How much cheaper are 1 × 8 in rectangle labels in larger runs?+
Yes. Per label, expect about $0.516 at 250, $0.141 at 1,000 and $0.059 at 5,000. Choose Custom quantity in the quote builder for anything larger.
How do I check that a 1 × 8 in label fits my container?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 1 × 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.
