Our labels are sized to fit atop 3 1/2-inch-diameter round acetate boxes (we used ones from GlerupRevere Packaging (item T101, $6.40 for 10). Print labels onto the paper of your choice. Cut carefully down the center, from top to bottom, to separate labels into two strips (if you can, use a paper cutter, a paper trimmer, or a craft knife and metal straight edge). Place a 3-inch circle craft punch upside down, and slip label into punch (turning the punch upside down will let you see the image through the opening, making it easy to line up your cut, regardless of which manufacturer's punch you buy). Center label in opening, and squeeze to punch it out. Attach to acetate boxes with double-sided tape.
