Enter the roll length, label length, and the gap between labels into the calculator to determine the number of labels per roll. This calculator helps in estimating how many labels you can print on a single roll of label material.

Labels Per Roll Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the number of labels per roll.

LPR = (RL / (LL + G))

Variables:

  • LPR is the number of labels per roll
  • RL is the roll length (inches)
  • LL is the label length (inches)
  • G is the gap between labels (inches)

To calculate the number of labels per roll, divide the roll length by the sum of the label length and the gap between labels, then round down to the nearest whole number.

What is Labels Per Roll?

Labels per roll is a measure of how many individual labels can be printed or manufactured on a continuous roll of label material. This number is important for production planning and cost estimation in the printing and packaging industries. It ensures that the correct amount of material is used and helps in determining the production capacity.

How to Calculate Labels Per Roll?

The following steps outline how to calculate the number of Labels Per Roll.


  1. First, determine the roll length (RL) in inches.
  2. Next, determine the label length (LL) in inches.
  3. Next, determine the gap between labels (G) in inches.
  4. Next, gather the formula from above = LPR = floor(RL / (LL + G)).
  5. Finally, calculate the number of Labels Per Roll (LPR).
  6. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

roll length (RL) = 5000 inches

label length (LL) = 4 inches

gap between labels (G) = 0.25 inches
