Layout tip

Wide labels on cylinders wrap about a quarter of the way around a 3 inch diameter jar; keep logos and key text centred so nothing disappears around the curve.

Panels should be at least 4.25 × 2.25 in. Wrapping the 4 in side? Containers of about 1.35 in diameter and up work.

4 × 2 in has 2% more space than 3.5 × 2.25 in – 2 × 4 in adds 0% more.
