8 × 1 in labels
With 8 square inches across 203 × 25 mm, the 8 × 1 in size is a slim strip about 8 times as long as it is tall. Measured against everyday packaging, it suits a wrap around the 12 oz can (8.15 in round) and a standard 1.25 in shelf-edge channel. For copy, count on about 5 lines of roughly 134 characters at 8 pt. The same page covers 1 × 8: rotate the artwork and choose the unwind direction in the builder.

8 × 1 in labels: typical jobs
Wraps for 12 oz cans
On a 12 oz can (about 2.6 in across) the 8 in side runs round the body with 0.15 in to spare where the ends meet.
Shelf tags
Use it for bin and shelf tags: 8 in long, 1 in tall, below the 1.25 in channel height.
Box bands
Run 8 in across a lid and down the sides as a narrow branded band.
Candle warning labels
Under-candle safety text: 5 lines of 134 characters is plenty.
Print-ready tips
Guide lines first: 7.875 × 0.875 in for content, 2438 × 338 px for the full bleed canvas, 7 pt minimum type. Test-wrap a paper print around a 12 oz can first; keep 0.5 in at each end free of text.
Leave room: 8.25 × 1.25 in of flat surface is ideal. If you wrap it, containers near 2.63 in across (with the 8 in side going around) leave a small seam gap.
Area-wise 8 × 1 in beats 2 × 4 in by 0%; 3.25 × 2.5 in offers another 2%. The bigger 3.25 × 2.5 in runs about $0.94 extra for 1,000.

Your 8 × 1 in questions answered
Will an 8 × 1 in label fit a 12 oz can?
Usually yes. A typical 12 oz can is about 2.6 in across (8.15 in around) with roughly 4 in of straight wall. 8 in around and 1 in tall fits that space; measure your own container, because bottle makers vary by a few millimetres.
What do 1,000 8 × 1 in labels cost?
1,000 cost $181.78 – $0.182 a label – while the smallest run (100) is $140.87. The $45.00 artwork setup is charged once.
How many rolls will my 8 × 1 in 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.
What size should my artwork be for 8 × 1 in labels?
8.125 × 1.125 in with bleed, which is 2,438 × 338 px at 300 dpi. Keep words 1/16″ inside the edge.
