Labels are cut after printing, and the cut can drift slightly. The three guides keep the design looking right even when it does.
For bottles and jars, measure the flat, straight part of the container, not the shoulder or the curve at the base. Leave a gap rather than letting a wrap label overlap itself unless the overlap is planned. For pouches and boxes, leave at least 5 mm between the label edge and any seal, fold or zipper.
Choose the stock for where the product lives, then tell your printer how the labels will be applied.
| Stock | Use it for |
|---|---|
| White BOPP film | Water, oil and refrigeration: food, drinks, bath and body |
| Clear BOPP film | A no-label look on glass and clear containers |
| Paper | Dry goods, boxes and a natural, uncoated look |
| Roll labels | Machine application; the printer needs the unwind direction |
| Sheet labels | Hand application and short runs |

The area at least 0.125 inch inside the trim line. Keep all text, logos and barcodes inside it so nothing important is cut off.

Use vector art for text and logos, and images at 300 dpi at final size. Supply the file in CMYK with fonts outlined.
