Measuring your own bottle

Wrap a strip of paper round the bottle and mark where it meets itself: that is the circumference (or multiply the diameter by 3.14). A label all the way round should be a few millimetres shorter, and a front or back label at most half of it, less a gap between them. Then measure the straight part of the body: the label must fit there, or it creases on the shoulder.

Printing

The PDF adds 2 mm of bleed round each label and crop marks to cut along, and keeps the text 2 mm inside the edge. Print on a full sheet of label paper and cut, or on ready-cut label sheets that match the size. Try a test print with outlines on plain paper first.
