Water Bottle Labels

What size label fits a water bottle?

A standard 16.9 oz (500 ml) water bottle takes an 8 x 2 in. wraparound label. Mini 8 oz and 12 oz bottles are narrower and take the 7 x 2 in. label. For a taller label, the 8 x 3.5 in. 16 oz bottle label also wraps a 16.9 oz water bottle.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What size label fits a 16.9 oz water bottle?
An 8 x 2 in. label wraps a standard 16.9 oz (500 ml) water bottle, leaving a small gap at the back where the ends meet. Our 8 x 2 in. sheets print 5 labels per letter-size sheet, 50 per pack.
What size label fits an 8 oz or 12 oz mini water bottle?
A 7 x 2 in. label. Mini bottles have a smaller circumference, so the shorter label wraps them without the ends overlapping.
Is there a free water bottle label template?
Yes. Each water bottle label size has a free template in Canva, Word and PDF, linked in the size table on this page. Open it before you buy to check the fit and plan your design.
Are water bottle labels waterproof in a cooler of ice?
Waterproof white vinyl and clear gloss labels hold up to condensation and ice water. Kraft, recycled and pastel paper labels are best for bottles that stay dry. For long soaks, a light coat of clear spray over the printed vinyl helps the ink last.
Can I print water bottle labels on a laser printer?
Recycled white, brown kraft and pastel paper labels print on inkjet or laser printers. Waterproof vinyl and clear gloss labels are inkjet only.
