Olive Oil and Vinegar Bottle Labels

What size label fits a olive oil bottle?

Olive oil bottles vary in shape, so measure the flat area first. Dashleigh's 4 x 1.5 in. label fits a 2 oz sample bottle; the 5 x 2.5 in., 8 x 3.5 in. and 4 x 5 in. labels may fit 5 oz, 500 ml and 750 ml bottles.

Labels that fit

To measure: Measure the smooth area where the label will sit, side to side and top to bottom, and choose a label slightly smaller. For a wraparound, measure all the way around with a strip of paper.

Containers vary by maker, so print one label on plain paper and hold it on your bottle before printing the full sheet. Search all templates by size.

About Olive Oil and Vinegar Bottle Labels

Dashleigh's olive oil labels are printable sheet labels for olive oil, infused oil and vinegar bottles. The waterproof vinyl resists oil, so a drip down the side won't soak in. For 2 oz sample bottles, the 4 x 1.5 in. label is a tested fit, 12 to a sheet. For larger oil bottles, the 5 x 2.5 in., 8 x 3.5 in. and 4 x 5 in. labels are the likely sizes; measure your bottle first, since oil bottles come in many shapes.

What size label fits an olive oil bottle?

Container Label Per sheet Template
2 oz sample bottle 4 x 1.5 in. 12 #8385
5 to 8 oz bottle, front (measure first) 5 x 2.5 in. 6 #8393
500 ml round bottle, wrap (measure first) 8 x 3.5 in. 3 #8398
500 or 750 ml bottle, front (measure first) 4 x 5 in. 4 #8380
Square bottle, front (measure first) 3 x 3 in. 6 #8429
Smaller front label (measure first) 4 x 3 in. 6 #8381

Only the 2 oz row is a tested fit. Square dorica bottles, round marasca bottles and cruets all differ, so measure the flat or straight area where the label will go and print a test on plain paper before using a label sheet.

Which label for which bottle?

For tasting samples and gift sets, the 4 x 1.5 in. label fits 2 oz bottles. On a tall square bottle, a 3 x 3 in. or 4 x 3 in. front label leaves the shoulders clear. A round 500 ml bottle can take the 8 x 3.5 in. wrap if it's about 2.5 in. across. Tie on a hang tag label with a recipe or pairing note.

Which material is best for infused oil gifts?

Waterproof white vinyl or clear gloss. Both are films, so oil wipes off and won't stain the label; clear gloss shows off herbs and chili inside the bottle. Kraft and recycled white look handmade, but oil soaks into paper, so keep them for vinegar or for the gift tag.

How many labels do I need?

One per bottle, plus spares. A dozen gift bottles of infused oil is 2 sheets of the 5 x 2.5 in. labels, or 1 sheet of 2 oz labels for a dozen samples.

How do I design and print olive oil labels?

Open the free template for your size in Canva or Word, add the oil, the infusion and a use-by date, and print one test on plain paper at 100% scale. On vinyl, let the ink dry 10 to 15 minutes. Wipe the bottle with a little dish soap and dry it fully before applying, since any film of oil will stop the label sticking.

Frequently asked questions

What size label fits an olive oil bottle?
It depends on the bottle. Dashleigh's 4 x 1.5 in. label fits 2 oz sample bottles. For 5 to 8 oz bottles try the 5 x 2.5 in. label, and for 500 ml bottles the 8 x 3.5 in. wrap or the 4 x 5 in. front label; measure first.
Are the labels oil resistant?
The white vinyl and clear gloss labels are films, so oil wipes off and won't soak in. Kraft and recycled white are paper and will mark if oil touches them.
Which material is best for infused oil gifts?
Clear gloss shows the herbs and chili inside the bottle; white vinyl gives a bright label for your design. Both resist oil. Use kraft for a gift tag rather than the bottle.
Can I print olive oil labels at home?
Yes. Vinyl and clear gloss print on an inkjet printer, and the recycled and kraft sizes print on inkjet or laser. Each size has a free Canva and Word template.
How many labels do I need?
One per bottle and a few spares. A dozen gift bottles takes 2 sheets of the 5 x 2.5 in. labels.
