2.25" x 4.5" Blank Inkjet Roll Labels
Our 2.25" x 4.5" blank inkjet roll labels provide a tall rectangular print area for water bottles, personal-care containers, food packaging, ingredient panels, warning labels, product boxes, barcodes, and other applications that require room for both branding and detailed information. The additional half inch of length compared with a 2.25" x 4" label can accommodate longer ingredient lists, directions, regulatory copy, or a larger branded design.
These labels are available in standard and compact 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 4.5" dimension travels into the roll. Confirm that your printer supports media 2.25 inches wide and a 4.5-inch label length before ordering.

Available Roll Sizes and Configurations
Choose the roll configuration that matches your printer's core and maximum outside-diameter requirements.
| Configuration | Labels per Roll | Core | Outside Diameter | Ordering and Printer Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact / Mini Roll | 259 | 2" | 4" | For compatible compact printers, including supported Primera LX400/LX500 and Epson C3400/C3500/C4000 models. Compact rolls must be ordered in even quantities. |
| Standard Roll | 623 | 3" | 6" | For compatible roll-fed inkjet printers that accept a 3-inch core and 6-inch outside diameter. |
Smaller compact rolls fit printers with limited internal media space. Standard rolls provide more than twice as many labels per roll, reducing roll changes during longer production runs. Always choose by printer specifications rather than label count alone.

- Coffee, tea, snack, and bakery bag labels

Designed for Roll-Fed Inkjet Label Printers
These 2.25" x 4.5" 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, minimum and maximum label length, core diameter, 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. The compact version is specifically intended for compatible printers that require the smaller 2-inch core and 4-inch outside diameter.
- For compatible roll-fed inkjet label printers
- Not for desktop sheet-fed inkjet or laser printers
- 2.25" media width across the roll
- 4.5" label length in the feed direction
- Choice of compact or standard roll configuration
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 4.5 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 4.5" labels run on the roll?
The 2.25-inch dimension runs across the width of the roll, and the 4.5-inch dimension feeds into the printer.

The compact roll contains 259 labels on a 2-inch core with a 4-inch outside diameter. The standard roll contains 623 labels on a 3-inch core with a 6-inch outside diameter.
Which roll configuration should I order?
Choose the compact roll if your compatible printer requires a 2-inch core and a maximum 4-inch outside diameter. Choose the standard roll if your printer accepts a 3-inch core and 6-inch outside diameter. Confirm the specifications in the printer manual before ordering.
Do compact rolls have a quantity requirement?
