Measure the flat band between the jar’s shoulder and base; the label goes inside it with a margin.

Measure the face, not the jar

  1. Find the flat part: between the shoulder and the base of a jar, inside the rim of a lid, between the ribs of a bin.
  2. Measure its width and height in millimeters.
  3. Enter them in the fit calculator with a margin of 2 to 3 mm, and read the largest label size.
  4. Set the label to that size in the resize tool, then cut a paper test before vinyl.

A worked example

Our jar lid disc label is 63 mm across. Say the flat center of your lid measures 58 mm: the label is too big. With a 2 mm margin all round, the fit calculator gives 54 mm (58 − 2 − 2), so set the disc to 54 mm wide and it sits inside the flat center.

Pre-cut sheets need Avery’s template

The table gives the size of one label, not the sheet’s margins or spacing. To print onto a pre-cut sheet, use Avery’s template for that product number. Our SVG blanks are single cut shapes.

Check at actual size

For a paper check, export the label as PDF and print at 100% or Actual Size. Measure the print before you cut material: fitting to the page changes the size.
