1 x 2 1/2 Labels: Durable, Dynamic, and Designed to Stick
Key Summary:
Discover the power of 1 x 2 1/2 inch rectangle labels—compact, versatile, and built for both everyday labeling and high-performance environments. Whether you need to organize, brand, ship, or sort, these labels are the perfect size to get the job done cleanly and efficiently.
Size and Dimensions
The 1 x 2 1/2 inch size strikes the ideal balance between visibility and space efficiency. It’s wide enough to fit return addresses, barcodes, short product descriptions, or inventory codes—yet compact enough for tight labeling zones on packaging, jars, shelves, or documents.
Comparison to Other Label Sizes
Smaller than standard address labels (like 2 x 4 inches) and narrower than classic return address formats (like 1 x 2 5/8), these labels are a sleek alternative for when space is limited but clarity is non-negotiable. They're also more readable and eye-catching than tiny 1 x 1 squares or circles, thanks to their elongated rectangular shape.
