2 × 1 in oval labels
A 2 by 1 inch oval is long and slender, the classic shape of a neck label or a small gourmet tag. It suits narrow bottles and slim jars where a rectangle looks boxy, and it gives a short product name a traditional, apothecary feel.

2 × 1 in oval label questions

Yes, small horizontal ovals are a traditional neck label on wine, spirits and oil bottles. Measure the straight part of the neck, since many necks taper, and choose a matte or gloss finish if bottles are chilled or handled often.

Prices drop with volume: 100 labels are $137.25, 1,000 are $144.77 ($0.145 each). One $45.00 setup applies per design.
How many rolls will my 2 × 1 in oval order come on?
Each 3″-core roll holds about 11,500 and each 1″-core roll about 3,000, so divide your quantity by that to estimate the number of rolls.

Bleed size 2.125 × 1.125 in; at 300 dpi that equals 638 × 338 px. PDF, AI, SVG, PNG and JPG all work.
