Where it goes

The label sits 11.4 mm above the base, between the curves at the top and bottom. It is 206 mm long against the can’s 207.3 mm round, so its ends meet at the seam: keep text 4 mm clear of each end.

Printing

Labels on a sheet of A42
Labels on a sheet of US Letter2

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.

A 206 mm label is wider than a home printer prints on A4, so the PDF makes it 198 mm long: only the gap at the seam grows. For the full length, use the print shop file (Pro).
