Available Roll Sizes & Configurations

- Standard Rolls: 3" core with a 6" outside diameter

Designed for Roll Label Printers Only
These 2 x 8 labels are supplied on rolls and are made for roll-fed label printers. They are not designed for standard 8.5" x 11" desktop sheet printers.
When printing roll labels, the label size is typically set inside your printer software, label design program, or printer driver. You simply enter the label dimensions, such as 2" x 8", and design within that print area.
- For 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 8" Roll Labels
Roll labels work differently than sheet labels. With sheet labels, customers often need a Word, PDF, Illustrator, or Canva template because the labels must line up with a fixed sheet layout.
With roll labels, the printer software controls the label setup. You enter the label width and height, choose the correct media settings, and design one label at a time. Because of this, a downloadable sheet template is not required for 2 x 8 roll labels.
Before Ordering 2" x 8" Roll Labels
Before purchasing roll labels, confirm that your printer can accept the roll specifications. Important measurements include label width, label height, core size, outside roll diameter, roll direction, and sensing method.
- Label size: 2" x 8"
- Printer type: Roll-fed label printers
- Core size: Check your printer requirements
- Outside diameter: Make sure the roll fits inside or behind your printer
- Sensor type: Confirm gap, black mark, or continuous sensing requirements

Frequently Asked Questions About 2" x 8" Roll Labels
What are 2" x 8" roll labels used for?
2" x 8" roll labels are commonly used for bottles, jars, tubes, cartons, chemical containers, personal care products, cleaning products, beverage packaging, and other products that need a long, narrow label with room for branding and product information.
How are 2" x 8" roll labels measured?
For roll labels, the first dimension is the width across the roll and the second dimension is the length into the roll. A 2" x 8" roll label is 2 inches wide across the roll and 8 inches long in the feed direction.
Why does roll label orientation matter?
Roll label orientation matters because the label must feed correctly through the printer or applicator. A 2" x 8" roll label is not the same as an 8" x 2" roll label when used on a roll, even though both labels have the same printable area.
Can I buy this size in sheet labels?
This page is for 2" x 8" roll labels. If you need this same label area on sheets, the sheet label version is typically listed as 8" x 2" because sheet labels are measured across the sheet first and then down the sheet.
Will 2" x 8" roll labels fit my printer?
You should check your printer specifications before ordering. Roll label printers have minimum and maximum label widths, so your printer must support a 2-inch wide roll label and an 8-inch print length.
Are 2" x 8" labels good for wrap-around bottle labels?
Yes. The long 8-inch length makes this size a good option for wrap-around bottle labels, beverage labels, personal care bottles, and other cylindrical containers.
Can I print full-color designs on 2" x 8" roll labels?
Yes. Compatible inkjet roll label printers can print full-color graphics, logos, product details, ingredients, barcodes, and other information on 2" x 8" roll labels.
What materials are available for 2" x 8" roll labels?
Material availability may vary, but 2" x 8" roll labels may be available in options such as white matte, gloss, weatherproof, removable adhesive, permanent adhesive, and other roll label materials.
Are 2" x 8" roll labels applied by hand or machine?
They can be applied by hand or with compatible label applicators. If you are using an applicator, confirm the roll direction, label width, core size, outside diameter, and unwind direction required by your equipment.
Do I need a template for 2" x 8" roll labels?
Most roll label printers do not require a downloadable sheet-style template. Instead, you enter the label size directly into your printer software or design program as 2 inches wide by 8 inches long.
