A question we get over and over again is “I need to make labels for my bottles, my bottles are – fill in the blank. What size labels do I need?” It’s a tough question to answer since there are hundreds of types of standard bottles for products out there, not to mention custom created ones by brands that are getting fancy by creating their own bottle style. For instance an 8oz energy drink bottle is most likely a different shape than an 8oz Kirkland Signature water bottle.
So with that in mind we’ve put together this easy to read table of common bottle sizes and our labels that go along with them and their product links to start an order.
| 8 oz. (237 mL) bottle – Often used for beverages such as energy drinks, sports drinks, and some juices. It is also commonly used for personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and lotions. | Either water bottle label size or 4″x3″ rectangle sticker. |
| 12 oz. (355 mL) bottle – A popular size for carbonated soft drinks, beer, and cider. It is also used for juices and some sports drinks. | Either water bottle label size or 4″x3″ rectangle sticker. |
| 16 oz. (473 mL) bottle – This size is commonly used for energy drinks, sports drinks, juices, and some alcoholic beverages such as beer and malt beverages. | Either water bottle label size or 4″x6″ rectangle sticker. |
| 20 oz. (591 mL) bottle – Often used for carbonated soft drinks and sports drinks. It is also used for bottled water and some juices. | Either water bottle label size or 6″x4″ rectangle sticker. |
