If you are looking for a professional and affordable graphic design and printing service for your product labels, you have come to the right place. At Lampmediatouch, we offer a wide range of options and solutions for your branding and packaging needs. Whether you need labels for bottles, jars, cans, boxes, or bags, we can create them for you in any shape, size, color, and material.

However, before we can start working on your order, we need to know the exact size of your product labels. This is very important because different sizes may affect the quality, cost, and delivery time of your orders.

If you are one of our clients who have sent us pictures of your product containers and asked us to tell you the size of the labels that would fit them, you may have been disappointed by our answer. We are sorry to say that we cannot determine the size of your product labels from pictures alone. We need the actual measurements of your containers to give you an accurate quote and a high-quality design and printing service.
Measuring the size of your product labels from pictures is not a good idea, and here are some reasons why:

Why You Should Not Measure the Size of Your Product Labels from Pictures

Pictures may not show the true dimensions of your product containers.

Depending on the angle, distance, lighting, and resolution of the pictures, your product containers may appear larger or smaller than they really are. This can lead to errors and inaccuracies in estimating the size of your product labels.

Pictures may not show the shape and curvature of your product containers.

Some product containers have flat surfaces, while others have curved or irregular surfaces. This can affect how your product labels will adhere to them and how they will look. For example, if you have a round bottle, you need to make sure that your product label is not too wide or too long, otherwise it will wrinkle or overlap on the edges.

Pictures may not show the design and layout of your product labels.

You may have a specific idea of how you want your product labels to look, such as the font, color, logo, image, text, and barcode. However, if you don’t know the exact size of your product labels, you may end up with a design that is too big or too small for your product containers. This can affect the readability and attractiveness of your product labels.

How to Measure the Size of Your Product Labels Yourself

So how can you measure the size of your product labels yourself? It’s actually very easy and simple. All you need are some basic tools and techniques that you can find at home or in your office. Here are some steps that you can follow:

Method 1: Use a Ruler or a Measuring Tape to Measure the Size of Your Product Labels

The first step is to use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure the length and width of your product container. Make sure to measure the area where you want to place your product label. For example, if you have a bottle, measure the circumference and height of the body part where you want to wrap your product label around.

You can use a ruler for flat containers or flat surfaces, such as boxes or bags. You can use a measuring tape for curved containers or curved surfaces, such as bottles or jars. A measuring tape is more flexible and can follow the shape of your container better than a ruler.

Write down the measurements in centimeters or inches, depending on what unit you prefer. You can also use online tools to convert between different units. Following this step successfully you have just Measure the Size of Your Product Labels.

Method 2: Use a Paper to Cut Out the Actual Measurement and See How the Label Will Look Like

The second method is to use paper to cut out the actual measurement of your product label and see how it will look on your product container. This is very useful when the label is going to be styled differently than a simple rectangle or square. You might need to measure different sections of the container transfer the measurements onto a paper and then cut it out before sending it to your graphic designer/printer.

To do this, follow these steps:

• Cut out a piece of paper that matches the length and width of your product container using scissors or a cutter.
• Mark or draw on the paper using a pen or a pencil where you want to place your product label. You can mark or draw anything that you want to include on your product label, such as the font, color, logo, image, text, and barcode. You can also use online tools to create and print out your design.
• Cut out the shape of your product label from the paper using scissors or a cutter. Be careful not to cut too much or too little from the edges. This will be your actual product label size that you can send to your graphic designer/printer along with your design file.
• Place the paper cutout on your product container using some tape or glue. This will give you an idea of how your product label will look on your product container. You can adjust the size and position of your paper cutout until you are satisfied with the result.

How to Send Your Measurements after You Measure the Size of Your Product Labels

After you have measured the size of your product labels using one or both of the methods above, you can send your measurements and design file to your graphic designer/printer so that they can start working on your order. You can do this by following these steps:

• Send the dimensions you have measured in method one, both length and breadth measurements you took.
