Square labels are offered from 1.5" x 1.5" up to 4" x 4". Common sizes shown include 1.5" x 1.5", 2.12" x 2.12" (2-1/8"), 2.75" x 2.75", 3" x 3", and 4" x 4".
Most waterproof square labels are compatible with laser and pigment-based inkjet printers (but not with traditional dye-based inkjet printers). Dissolvable paper square labels are described as compatible with both laser and inkjet printers.
Some square labels use a permanent adhesive designed to stick and stay on a variety of surfaces. Dissolvable or food-storage square labels use an FDA-compliant adhesive for indirect food contact that dissolves or washes away without leaving residue.
Shoppers commonly use square label templates for mason jars and canning, jam and food-storage labels, candle and product labeling, pricing tags, soap and ingredient labels, and similar container or product identification.
