Our 2" x 3" oval blank inkjet roll labels are a popular curved-shape label option for products that need a softer, more decorative appearance than a standard rectangle. This size works well for bottle labels, jar labels, cosmetic labels, bath and body products, food packaging, handmade goods, retail packaging, product branding, promotional labels, and specialty packaging applications.
For this roll label size, the 2" dimension runs across the roll and the 3" dimension feeds into the roll. This orientation matters because roll-fed inkjet label printers must be able to accept the label width across the roll. A 2" x 3" oval roll label is not the same as a 3" x 2" oval roll label when supplied on rolls.
These labels are designed for compatible roll-fed inkjet label printers and are available in multiple roll configurations and material options. Material, roll size, core size, outside diameter, adhesive, and other available choices are selected on the product page after choosing this label size.

Available Roll Sizes & Configurations
This oval label size is available in several roll configurations to fit different inkjet roll label printers and production needs. Before ordering, confirm that your printer can accept the selected core size, outside roll diameter, label width, roll direction, and sensing method.
- Mini Rolls: 2" core with a 4" maximum outside diameter
- Standard Rolls: 3" core with a 6" maximum outside diameter
- Double Capacity Rolls: 3" core with an 8" maximum outside diameter
- Triple Capacity Rolls: 3" core with a 10" maximum outside diameter
Smaller rolls are often preferred for compact desktop inkjet label printers, while larger roll configurations provide more labels per roll and reduce the number of roll changes during higher-volume printing.
2" x 3" Oval Roll Label Orientation
Roll label orientation matters because the first number is the width across the roll and the second number is the length in the feed direction. This helps determine whether the label will fit your printer and feed correctly during printing.
- 2" = width across the roll
- 3" = length into the roll
- Shape: Oval
- Format: Inkjet roll labels
- Printer type: Compatible inkjet roll-fed label printers
This orientation is important for Epson ColorWorks, Primera, Afinia, and other inkjet roll label printers because the printer must support a 2" label width across the roll. If your design, printer, or applicator requires 3" across the roll instead, you would need the reverse orientation.
Common Uses for 2" x 3" Oval Labels
A 2" x 3" oval label works well when you want a label that feels more decorative than a rectangle but still provides enough room for product names, logos, short descriptions, ingredients, barcodes, QR codes, batch details, or branding. Oval labels are especially useful on products where the label shape contributes to the overall package appearance.

Designed for Inkjet Roll Label Printers Only
These 2" x 3" oval labels are supplied on rolls and are made for compatible inkjet roll label printers. They are not designed for standard 8.5" x 11" desktop sheet printers.
When printing inkjet roll labels, the label size is typically entered in your printer driver, printer software, or label design program. You choose the correct media settings, enter the label width and height, and design one label at a time.
- For compatible inkjet roll label printers only
- Not for desktop sheet-fed inkjet printers
- Not for desktop sheet-fed laser printers
- No sheet-style template required
- Label size is entered in the roll printer software
No Template Needed for 2" x 3" Oval Roll Labels
Roll labels are set up differently than sheet labels. Sheet labels often require a Word, PDF, Illustrator, or Canva template because the label positions must match a fixed 8.5" x 11" sheet layout.
With inkjet roll labels, the printer software controls the label setup. You enter the label width and height, choose the correct media settings, and design within the label area. Because of this, a downloadable sheet-style template is not required for 2" x 3" oval roll labels.
If you are printing sheet labels instead of roll labels, visit our label templates page for downloadable sheet label templates.
