2.25" x 5.25" Blank Inkjet Roll Labels
Our 2.25" x 5.25" blank inkjet roll labels provide a narrow, extended print area for water bottles, personal-care containers, food packaging, product boxes, ingredient panels, instructions, warnings, barcodes, and other applications requiring more vertical space. The 5.25-inch length makes room for branding and detailed product information on the same label.
These labels are available in compact, standard, and double-capacity roll configurations for compatible roll-fed inkjet label printers. Depending on the configuration selected, material choices may include White Uncoated, Premium White Matte, White Semi-Gloss, White ViVidGloss, Brown Kraft, White Matte Poly BOPP, and White PolyGloss BOPP. Available materials use a permanent adhesive.
Roll orientation: The 2.25" dimension runs across the width of the roll, while the 5.25" dimension travels into the roll. Confirm that your printer supports media 2.25 inches wide and a 5.25-inch label length before ordering.

Available Roll Sizes and Configurations
Choose the roll configuration by matching its core and outside diameter to your printer. Higher-capacity rolls reduce roll changes but require more space around the media holder.
| Configuration | Labels per Roll | Core | Maximum Outside Diameter | Ordering and Printer Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact / Mini Roll | 223 | 2" | 4" | For compatible compact printers, including supported Primera LX400/LX500 and Epson C3400/C3500/C4000 models. Minimum order is two rolls. |
| Standard Roll | 535 | 3" | 6" | For compatible roll-fed inkjet printers that accept a 3-inch core and 6-inch outside diameter. |
| Double-Capacity Roll | 1,071 | 3" | 8" | For compatible higher-capacity printers or external unwinders that can hold an 8-inch roll. Some options are sold by the eight-roll case; availability and minimum quantities vary by material. |
Double-capacity rolls contain approximately twice as many labels as standard rolls. Do not order them unless the printer or external unwinder has room for an 8-inch outside diameter.

The narrow width and extended height work well for portrait-style artwork, wraparound sections, and information-heavy layouts. Popular applications include:
- Water bottle, beer bottle, and beverage labels
- Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and personal-care bottle labels
- Food jars, sauce bottles, and packaged-food labels
- Coffee, tea, snack, and bakery bag labels
- Candle jars and home-fragrance products

Designed for Roll-Fed Inkjet Label Printers
These 2.25" x 5.25" labels are supplied on rolls for compatible roll-fed inkjet label printers. They are not designed for standard 8.5" x 11" desktop sheet printers.
Compatibility depends on the printer's supported media width, label-length range, core diameter, maximum outside roll diameter, sensing system, and media settings. Standard rolls may work with compatible models from Epson ColorWorks, Primera, Afinia, QuickLabel/AstroNova, VIPColor, Colordyne, SwiftColor, Kiaro, NeuraLabel, and other roll-fed inkjet printer manufacturers. Compact and double-capacity rolls have different space and core requirements.
- For compatible roll-fed inkjet label printers
- Not for desktop sheet-fed inkjet or laser printers
- 2.25" media width across the roll
- 5.25" label length in the feed direction
- Compact, standard, and double-capacity configurations available
No Sheet-Style Template Required
Roll-label printers normally print one label at a time, so a fixed sheet-layout template is not required. In your printer driver or label-design software, enter a label width of 2.25 inches and a label height of 5.25 inches. Design within that print area and confirm the artwork orientation before beginning a full production run.
Run a short test to verify print alignment, gap sensing, barcode readability, color, and ink durability on the selected material.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which direction do 2.25" x 5.25" labels run on the roll?
The 2.25-inch dimension runs across the width of the roll, and the 5.25-inch dimension feeds into the printer.
How many 2.25" x 5.25" labels are on each roll?
The compact roll contains 223 labels, the standard roll contains 535 labels, and the double-capacity roll contains 1,071 labels.
Which roll configuration should I order?
Choose the compact roll for a compatible printer requiring a 2-inch core and 4-inch outside diameter. Choose the standard roll for a printer accepting a 3-inch core and 6-inch outside diameter. Use the double-capacity roll only when the printer or external unwinder accepts a 3-inch core and an 8-inch outside diameter.
Do compact rolls have a minimum order?
Yes. The compact 223-label rolls have a minimum order of two rolls.
Can I print these labels with a desktop sheet printer?
No. These labels are made for compatible roll-fed inkjet label printers and are not intended for standard sheet-fed inkjet or laser printers.
Do I need a template for 2.25" x 5.25" roll labels?
No sheet-layout template is needed. Enter 2.25 inches as the media width and 5.25 inches as the label height in the printer software or label-design program.
Which material is best for products exposed to moisture?
White Matte Poly and White PolyGloss BOPP provide better resistance to water, oils, and handling than paper materials. Test the printed label under the product's actual conditions before ordering a full production quantity.
Can I print barcodes or QR codes on this size?
Yes. The 2.25" x 5.25" printable area can accommodate many barcode and QR-code layouts. Maintain the required quiet zones and test every code with the intended scanner before production.
