Our 5" x 5" roll labels provide a large square format that offers plenty of space for product branding, ingredient panels, instructions, barcodes, QR codes, compliance information, and eye-catching graphics. This size is popular for food packaging, candle labels, bath and body products, specialty retail items, industrial products, and shipping applications where a larger label helps important information stand out. Supplied on rolls for use with compatible roll label printers, 5" x 5" labels are an excellent choice for businesses that need professional-looking labels with maximum design flexibility.
Unlike sheet labels, roll labels are designed for roll-fed printers where the label dimensions are entered directly into the printer software or design program.

No Template Needed for 5" x 5" 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 5 x 5 roll labels.
Designed for Roll Label Printers Only
These 5 x 5 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 5" x 5", and design within that print area.

Frequently Asked Questions About 5" x 5" Roll Labels
What are 5" x 5" roll labels commonly used for?

How are 5" x 5" 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 5" x 5" roll label is 5 inches wide across the roll and 5 inches long in the feed direction.
Will 5" x 5" roll labels fit my printer?
You should check your printer specifications before ordering. Your roll label printer must be able to handle a 5-inch wide label and support the roll size, core size, and outside diameter of the roll.

Yes, 5" x 5" roll labels can be used with compatible inkjet roll label printers that support a 5-inch label width.

Because this is a square label, the label dimensions are the same in both directions. However, printer compatibility still matters because the roll must feed correctly and the printer must support the 5-inch width.
