How much do 6.5 × 8 in rectangle labels cost?+
About $473.02 CAD for 1,000 ($0.473 each) and $185.21 for 250, on matte roll stock. At 5,000 the total is about $1,317.54, or $0.264 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 6.5 × 8 in rectangle labels?+
Typically about 390 to 480 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.
Which material should I choose for 6.5 × 8 in rectangle labels?+
Matte BOPP is our default (about $473.02 for 1,000 at this size). Glossy is about $501.40, clear about $539.24 and freezer grade about $577.09 for the same 1,000. All of them are waterproof; choose freezer grade for cold or frozen products and clear for a no-label look.
Is 6.5 × 8 in the same as 8 × 6.5 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.
Will a 6.5 × 8 in label fit my bottle or jar?+
Check the straight wall, not the curved shoulder or base: you need at least 6.5 × 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.
How big is 6.5 × 8 in in metric?+
6.5 × 8 in is about 165 × 203 mm. You can switch the quote builder to centimetres and enter the size in cm if your packaging is specified in metric.
