Method 3: Test Your Label Size with the Wrap & Cut Method

For round or curved surfaces, try wrapping a piece of paper around your container. Mark where it overlaps, then trim it to size. This quick test ensures your label will fit just right before you order.

Step 1: Size it Up

Wrap a piece of paper around your container, marking where you want the label’s edges to be. This gives you a rough idea of the size you need.

Step 3: Test the Shape
