3" x 1" Matte Paper Inkjet Labels – 1050/Roll, 2" Core, 4" OD

Overview

The 3" x 1" label size is commonly used for barcode systems and narrow product identification panels where horizontal space is preferred over vertical space. This format fits well on cartons, bins, trays, bottles, inventory shelves, and packaging edges where a wide but low-profile label works best.

When paired with a matte paper face stock, the label surface reduces glare and improves readability across barcode lines, SKU numbers, and short product descriptions. This helps maintain consistent scanning performance in retail, warehouse, and fulfillment environments.

Operational labeling uses

• Extended barcode labeling
• Retail shelf identification
• Warehouse bin marking
• Inventory control labels
• Product SKU identification
• Small product packaging panels

Material overview

Matte paper provides a smooth surface that helps keep text and barcode elements sharp and readable. The non-reflective coating reduces glare under warehouse lighting and scanning equipment, which can improve scanning consistency.

This material is typically selected for indoor labeling environments where operational clarity and professional presentation are more important than glossy visual impact.

Why roll configuration matters

A 2" core with 4" OD creates a compact roll that fits printers designed for smaller media footprints. For narrow labels like 3" x 1", this roll configuration helps maintain stable feeding and reduces printer adjustments when running high-volume barcode batches.
