Beer and Soda Can Labels

What size label fits a beer or soda can?

A 12 oz can takes the 8 x 3.5 in. label as a full wrap, or a 4 x 3 in. front label. On a 16 oz can, the 8 x 3.5 in. label wraps as a band around the middle. Containers vary by maker, so print one label on plain paper and hold it on your can before printing the full sheet.

About Beer and Soda Can Labels

Printable labels for 12 oz and 16 oz beer and soda cans. A standard 12 oz can is about 8.4 in. around with a 3.75 in. straight wall, so the 8 x 3.5 in. waterproof vinyl label wraps it almost completely, with a narrow gap at the seam. On a taller 16 oz can, the same label wraps as a band around the middle. For a front label only, use the 4 x 3 in. beer label. Each size has a free template in Canva and Word.
