Print-ready tips

At this size, check that photos are at least 300 dpi at 5 inches (1500 by 1500 pixels plus bleed); low-resolution logos that look fine on screen become visibly soft.

Panels should be at least 5.25 × 5.25 in. Wrapping the 5 in side? Containers of about 1.67 in diameter and up work.

Area-wise 5 × 5 in beats 4.5 × 4.5 in by 23%, and 5.5 × 5.5 in offers another 21%. 5.5 × 5.5 in adds around $92.42 to a 1,000-label order.

Questions about this size

Can a 5x5 label go on a pizza box?

Yes, a 5 inch square is a popular pizza and bakery box top sticker. Apply it to the clean, dry top of the box; our standard film labels resist grease spots better than uncoated paper stickers.

Is there a minimum order for 5 × 5 in labels?

Yes, 100 labels; that run is $149.79. At 1,000 you pay $272.01, near $0.272 apiece, and artwork setup adds $45.00 once.

How many rolls will my 5 × 5 in order come on?

Each 3″-core roll holds about 2,500 and each 1″-core roll about 660, so divide your quantity by that to estimate the number of rolls.

How do I set up 5 × 5 in label artwork?

Make the canvas 1,538 × 1,538 px (300 dpi) – that is 5.125 × 5.125 in including bleed – and keep text off the outer 1/16″.
