Labels and bands / JETDIELINE

Paper band

Paper wrap band around a round body or a stack: length from circumference plus ease allowance and overlap; the overlap at the beginning is the glue area.

How the shape is constructed

The wrap band is a rectangular paper strip without creases. Its length consists of circumference, additional ease allowance, and overlap. The starting strip is defined as a glue area. Unlike the wrap-around label, this construction has no visible-area markings; the starting circumference describes the enclosed body or stack.

How it is assembled

Apply adhesive to the glue area at the beginning, wrap the band around the body, and glue the end over it.

Material and grain direction

Grain direction parallel to the band height, across the circumference (check)

Test fit, folding and closure on a sample made from the intended material. Confirm material thickness, grain direction and production steps with your printer.

What to consider for this construction

Circumference ease allowance

Additional length so the wrap band fits loosely or can be slipped off.

Frequently asked questions

What does the circumference ease allowance do?

It adds length outside the glue overlap. Within the 0–10 mm range, it lets you plan a looser fit; the starting value of 0 fits the specified circumference. Whether the band can actually be slipped off depends on the body, material, and gluing and must be checked using a sample.

How is the wrap band length calculated?

Length is circumference plus ease allowance plus overlap. The starting example gives 300 + 0 + 10 = 310 mm. Band width is 40 mm. Bleed and safe zone are additionally taken from the production profile and do not change this dimension reference.

Does the wrap band have creases for a rectangular box?

No. band.wrap is an uncreased strip. The belly band is intended for the four walls of a box with defined creases and a glue flap. It accounts for the length and width of the box cross-section and material thickness.
