Our 0.5" x 3.75" blank roll labels are a narrow rectangular label option designed for products and applications that need a slim label with extra length for text, codes, numbering, ingredients, branding, or identification details. This size works well for small containers, tubes, vials, sample packaging, retail items, inventory tracking, barcode labels, warning labels, and other applications where a compact label must still provide enough printable space.
These labels are supplied on rolls for compatible roll-fed label printers. The 0.5" width runs across the roll, while the 3.75" length feeds into the roll. This orientation is especially useful when the label needs to print as a long, narrow strip for wrapping, coding, product identification, or fitting onto tight label areas.

They are commonly used for narrow product labels, barcode labels, vials, tubes, sample containers, retail packaging, inventory labels, and identification labels.

Yes. This size can work well for barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers, part numbers, and other variable information, as long as your printer and software support the design.
Will this size fit my roll label printer?
