3" x 1" Gloss Paper Inkjet Labels – 1050/Roll, 2" Core, 4" OD
Professional 3" x 1" gloss paper inkjet labels built for narrow-format product identification, barcode workflows, and clean print performance on compatible roll-fed color label printers. Each roll includes 1050 die-cut labels on a 2" core with a 4" outer diameter, making this format a strong fit for high-volume labeling programs where space is limited but clarity still matters.
Consistent roll quality for production workflows
Built for compatible roll-fed inkjet printers
Supporting business label operations across Canada
Overview
This 3" x 1" die-cut label format is designed for applications where horizontal space is useful but label height must stay compact. It works especially well for product identifiers, narrow branding strips, barcode labels, ingredient callouts, and container labeling where a clean layout is needed within a limited footprint.
The combination of a 3" width and 1" height makes this size practical for higher-volume operations that need efficient roll counts, consistent placement, and readable output across many SKUs. Paired with a gloss paper finish, it gives printed text, barcodes, and graphics a sharper, more polished appearance for indoor packaging and retail-oriented labeling.

Material overview
Gloss paper features a bright white face stock with a smooth, reflective surface that enhances contrast, color clarity, and small-format print definition in inkjet applications. It is commonly selected when narrow labels still need to look polished, organized, and easy to read.
This format can be a strong fit for packaging where label height is limited but branding or SKU visibility still matters. For category-specific labeling ideas, review our Nutraceuticals & Supplements and Cosmetic Labeling Guide Canada 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 higher label count, which is especially useful for narrow-format labels like this 3" x 1" configuration.

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 barcode clarity, margin spacing, and print alignment on the 3" x 1" format.
- 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 artwork simple and well-spaced so smaller text and barcodes remain easy to scan and read.
