Need a little more or less room? Compare rectangle labels one step smaller: 5 × 7 in, 3.5 × 10 in and one step larger: 3.25 × 11 in, 4.5 × 8 in, or browse all label sizes.
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.

5.5 × 6.5 in rectangle labels FAQ
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.
On matte rolls, 250 labels are about $145.15 CAD, 1,000 about $294.78 and 5,000 about $790.56 ($0.158 each). Prices are approximate, taken from our live price list on October 6, 2026. Enter your quantity in the quote builder for the exact total with standard shipping included.
Typically about 480 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.
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.
Four stocks are available: matte (about $294.78 per 1,000 here), glossy ($312.46), clear ($336.05) and freezer grade ($359.63). Pick glossy for brighter colour, clear for glass and clear plastic, and freezer grade for anything stored cold.
Measure the flat or straight part of the container. The label needs a panel at least 5.5 in by 6.5 in, with a little margin. If you want it to wrap all the way around, the long side (6.5 in) covers a round container of about 2.1 in diameter with a small gap.
The price per label falls as quantity goes up: about $0.581 each at 250, $0.295 at 1,000 and $0.158 at 5,000. For bigger runs, choose a custom quantity in the quote builder to see the exact total.
