2" x 5" Gloss Paper Inkjet Labels – 225/Roll, 2" Core, 4" OD
Professional 2" x 5" gloss paper inkjet labels built for product labeling, packaging detail panels, and dependable print performance on compatible roll-fed color label printers. Each roll includes 225 die-cut labels on a 2" core with a 4" outer diameter, making this format a strong fit for food packaging, retail identification, warehouse workflows, and narrow-format applications that need more room than a short barcode label.
Consistent roll quality for production workflows
Built for compatible roll-fed inkjet printers
Supporting business label operations across Canada
Overview
This 2" x 5" die-cut label format is a practical option for businesses that need a narrow label with enough vertical space for branding, barcodes, product details, and variable information. It works especially well when a standard short label feels too compressed but a wider or larger format would take up too much package surface.
The 2" width keeps the format efficient for slimmer containers, cartons, pouches, and operational labeling surfaces, while the 5" length gives more room for organized layouts and clearer information hierarchy. Combined with a gloss paper finish, this size supports crisp text, cleaner graphics, and a polished presentation for indoor labeling workflows.

These labels are commonly used with printer families from Epson ColorWorks, Primera, Afinia, and VIPColor.

Material overview
Gloss paper provides a bright white, polished surface suitable for detailed graphics and structured layouts. The smooth finish supports consistent inkjet output and is commonly selected for indoor labeling environments requiring professional presentation, especially when branding and barcode clarity must work together on a compact narrow label.
This size works well when businesses need more room than a short ID label but still want an efficient narrow format. For broader packaging and workflow guidance, review our E-Commerce Retail Fulfillment Labels and Materials & Finishes pages.
Why do 2" core and 4" OD matter for die-cut rolls?
Roll configuration matters just as much as label size. A 2" core is common on many commercial color label printers because it supports stable media loading and predictable feed control. A 4" OD keeps the roll compact while still allowing a practical label count for organized production runs and repeat-use workflows.

Tips for optimal printing on gloss paper stock
Useful guidance for cleaner output and more dependable results.
- Use the media or quality setting recommended by your printer manufacturer for coated or gloss-compatible stock.
- Run a short test print before larger jobs to confirm alignment, barcode sharpness, and readability across the 2" x 5" layout.
- Check your sensor and media setup carefully when switching between different die-cut label sizes.
- Store rolls in a clean, dry environment away from excess heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
- Keep text blocks and barcodes organized so the label stays easy to read and scan during real-world use.
