2 × 1.5 in labels

At 51 × 38 mm, this label is almost exactly the size of a matchbook, with 3 square inches to print on. We checked it against common containers: it works for a wrap around the 10 ml roller bottle (2.35 in round) as well as the top of an 8 oz candle tin lid. For copy, count on about 9 lines of roughly 30 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits. The same page covers 1.5 × 2: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

Good uses for the 2 × 1.5 in size

Wraps for 10 ml roller bottles

On a 10 ml roller bottle (about 0.75 in across) the 2 in side runs round the body with 0.35 in to spare where the ends meet.

Tops of 8 oz candle tin lids

The 2.9 in usable top takes it with a 0.45 in margin all round.

Main product label

9 lines of 30 characters at 8 pt carry product name, net quantity and maker on the 2 × 1.5 in face.

Candle warning labels

Under-candle safety text: 9 lines of 30 characters is plenty.

Artwork advice

Work on a 638 × 488 px file with a 1.875 × 1.375 in inner guide; below 7 pt, text blurs at arm's length. On the 10 ml roller bottle, leave the last 0.1 in of each end plain so the seam never cuts through words.

A 2.25 × 1.75 in flat panel is ideal; for wraps pick containers around 0.72 in diameter or bigger for the 2 in length.

2 × 1.5 in has 0% more space than 3 × 1 in; 4 × 0.75 in adds 0% more.

Questions about this size

Will a 2 × 1.5 in label fit a 10 ml roller bottle?

Usually yes. A typical 10 ml roller bottle is about 0.75 in across (2.35 in around) with roughly 2 in of straight wall. 2 in around and 1.5 in tall fits that space; measure your own container, because bottle makers vary by a few millimetres.

How much are 2 × 1.5 in roll labels?

Starting at $98.40 (100 pcs); a run of 1,000 is $115.06, or $0.115 per label. Add $45.00 one-time setup.

Do 2 × 1.5 in labels work in a label dispenser?

Yes. Ask for a 3″ core for table-top dispensers (about 8,000 a roll) or a 1″ core for handheld ones (about 2,100).

What size should my artwork be for 2 × 1.5 in labels?

2.125 × 1.625 in with bleed, which is 638 × 488 px at 300 dpi. Keep words 1/16″ inside the edge.
