Wraparound label for tapered cups

Wrap label for tapered cups and cans as a cone blank (annular sector) with a constant-width glue strip.

Template ID: label.tapered.wrap
Construction: Labels and bands
Current template version: V1
Dieline preview version: V1

How the shape is constructed

The blank is an annular sector with a constant-width glue strip. The starting cup has the larger diameter at the top; the construction therefore mirrors the arc arrangement relative to the neck label. A single panel carries the cut outline. Vertical body height is converted into the blank's sloping generatrix.

How it is assembled

Position the label's starting edge along a generatrix, align the large arc with the wide opening, wrap around, and glue the end over the start with the glue strip.

Material and grain direction

No fixed grain direction; check parallel to the body axis on curved bodies

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

Frequently asked questions

Which arc belongs at the wide cup opening?

The larger diameter belongs to the annular sector's outer arc. In the starting cup, this is the top opening. The template accounts for taper direction and mirrors the blank accordingly. Align the large arc with the wide end when applying it.

Is height the length of the sloping cup wall?

No. The expected input is the vertical height between measured diameters. The construction calculates the generatrix from height and radius difference. If you enter the sloping length as height, the resulting blank differs. Check dimensions in the intended label area.

Can I widen the glue strip arbitrarily?

The dimension range is 0–30 mm. Inner radius and total angle additionally limit the permissible overlap. A value within the range is therefore not always geometrically possible. The starting example uses 10 mm; confirm gluing and fit with a sample made from the target material.
