The 4" x 2.5" blank label is a versatile rectangular size for product packaging, container labels, inventory tracking, barcode labels, retail labels, small shipping labels, and promotional stickers. This format provides more room than smaller address-style labels while still fitting well on jars, boxes, bags, tins, bottles, and flat product packaging.
This size is available in both blank label sheets for standard desktop inkjet and laser printers and blank roll labels for compatible roll-fed label printers. Sheet labels are a good choice for short runs, office printing, and flexible in-house label production. Roll labels are often preferred for higher-volume labeling, product packaging, roll printer workflows, and applications where labels are dispensed or applied repeatedly.

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

- Compact enough for jars, boxes, bags, tins, and small cartons
- Available on sheets and rolls
- Useful for both decorative and functional labeling
