The 4-inch by 1.75-inch rectangular label offers a wide layout for product names, barcodes, identification and package information. This sheet format has 12 labels per standard 8.5-inch by 11-inch sheet, making it useful when a design needs horizontal space without a tall label panel. Measure the intended surface and check a paper sample to confirm the fit.
Compare the available materials and adhesives below to choose an option for your application. Printer compatibility depends on the selected material, so use the version rated for your inkjet or laser printer and the template that matches the sheet layout. Consider handling and moisture exposure when evaluating the finished print and adhesive.

Choose the Right Material and Printer Compatibility
Printer compatibility is determined by the label material, not by the 4" x 1.75" size. Uncoated white labels are the everyday choice for general product and business labeling. Gloss, clear and synthetic materials need the correct surface treatment for the printer listed on the product page. Always confirm the material and printer before ordering.
| Material | Printer compatibility | Good choice for | Shop this size |
|---|---|---|---|
| White uncoated | Inkjet or laser | Everyday product, barcode, inventory and packaging labels | White uncoated labels |
| White removable | Check the individual product details | Temporary pricing, bins, containers and short-term identification | White removable labels |
| White semi-gloss | Separate inkjet-only and laser-only versions | Color product labels with a smooth sheen | Inkjet semi-gloss or laser semi-gloss |
| White high gloss | Inkjet or laser | Bright branding and polished retail packaging | White high-gloss labels |
| White PolyGloss | Inkjet or laser | Water-resistant product labels and colorful graphics | White PolyGloss labels |
| Clear glossy | Separate inkjet and laser versions | A no-label look on light or transparent containers | Clear inkjet labels or clear laser labels |
| White poly laser | Laser | Moisture-resistant identification and packaging labels | White poly laser labels |
| Brown kraft | Check the individual product details | Natural, handmade and rustic packaging | Brown kraft labels |
| Fluorescent colors | Check the individual product details | Warnings, inventory identification and high-visibility messages | Fluorescent labels |
Important: Do not place an inkjet-only semi-gloss or clear sheet in a laser printer, and do not assume a laser-only coating will accept inkjet ink correctly. Select the version specifically made for your printer technology.
Water Resistance and Refrigerated Products
Standard paper labels can shed an occasional splash, but they are still paper and should not be soaked. White PolyGloss and white poly laser materials provide better moisture resistance for condensation, refrigerated containers and routine handling. Final performance also depends on the printed image, adhesive, container surface and exposure time. Test a finished label on the actual package before production. For a fuller comparison, see our waterproof and water-resistant label guide.
Will a 4" x 1.75" Label Fit My Container?
Measure the flat or gently curved area where the label will be applied. The available area should be slightly larger than 4" wide by 1.75" high so the label does not cross a sharp edge, shoulder or base curve. On bottles and jars, wrap a paper rectangle cut to size around the container to check the seam, curvature and viewing area before ordering.
This format works especially well for:
- Candle jars, tins and wax-melt packaging
- Cosmetic, skincare and personal-care containers
- Food jars, bags and small product boxes
- Barcodes, QR codes and inventory identification
- Ingredient, warning and product-information panels
- Promotional stickers, thank-you labels and retail packaging
Design and Print the Sheet Accurately
- Download the 4" x 1.75" template for your preferred design program.
- Keep essential text, barcodes and logos inside the template's safe area.
- Print at 100% or Actual Size. Turn off options such as Fit to Page or Scale to Fit.
- Print a test on plain paper and hold it behind the label sheet to check alignment.
- Confirm the printer setting recommended for the selected material, then print one sheet before starting the full run.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many 4" x 1.75" labels are on each sheet?
There are 12 labels on each standard 8.5" x 11" sheet.
Do 4" x 1.75" labels work in both inkjet and laser printers?
The size is available in materials for both printer types, but compatibility varies by material. White high-gloss and White PolyGloss options work with inkjet or laser printers. Semi-gloss and clear glossy materials have separate inkjet and laser versions.
Are these labels waterproof?
Standard paper labels are not waterproof. White PolyGloss and white poly laser materials are more water-resistant, but you should test the complete printed label under the actual exposure conditions and avoid prolonged soaking unless the product specifications support it.
Are 4" x 1.75" labels available on rolls?
This page covers the 12-per-sheet configuration for desktop printers. The 4" x 1.75" size is not currently offered here as a stock blank roll-label option.
Is there a template for this label size?
Yes. Download the 4" x 1.75" label template in Word, PDF and additional formats.
Does this size have a direct Avery equivalent?
No direct Avery product-number equivalent is listed for this 4" x 1.75", 12-per-sheet layout. Use the exact dimensions and template rather than selecting by brand number.
Can I use this size for barcodes and QR codes?
Yes. The wide rectangle provides room for a barcode or QR code plus supporting text. Print a sample at final size and verify that the code scans reliably before producing the full batch.
How can I check whether this label fits a bottle or jar?
Cut a 4" x 1.75" rectangle from plain paper and place it on the container. Check the label seam, curved areas and readable viewing space before ordering.
