Circle Label Templates

Circle labels are a popular choice for jar lids, bottle tops, candle labels, cosmetic containers, and decorative seals. Their symmetrical shape makes them naturally eye-catching, and because there are no corners, designs tend to look clean and polished on curved surfaces. Our circle templates are available in sizes ranging from 1/2" up to 4" in diameter.

Oval Label Templates

Oval labels offer the softness of a circle with more horizontal surface area for text and design, making them a favorite for wine bottles, food jars, candles, and health and beauty products. Our oval templates are available in multiple sizes including popular wine and jar label dimensions.

How to Use Label Templates

Our label templates are designed to work with the software you already have. Here is how to get started in each format.

How to Use the JPG Template

The JPG image shows the exact physical layout of labels on the sheet, with all dimensions, margins, and label spacing clearly marked. Use the JPG when your design software requires you to manually enter label dimensions, or when you want a visual reference before setting up your artwork. Print the JPG at 100% scale on plain paper first to verify alignment before printing on your label sheets.

How to Use the Microsoft Word Template

Right-click the Word template link and choose "Save As" to download it to your computer. Open the file in Microsoft Word. If the label outlines are not visible, go to the Layout tab and turn on View Gridlines. Type or paste your content directly into each label cell. When you are ready to print, load your blank label sheets into the printer tray and print at 100% scale — never use "fit to page" as this will scale your layout and cause misalignment.

How to Use the PDF Template in Illustrator or Inkscape

Right-click the PDF template link and save it to your computer. Open it in Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or your preferred design application. Lock the template as its own layer, then create a new layer above it for your artwork. Design within the label boundaries on the top layer. Before printing, hide or delete the template layer so the label outlines do not print on your finished labels.

How to Use the EPS Template

EPS templates are vector files best suited for Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and other professional design applications. Open the EPS file and use it as your base layout layer. Because EPS files are fully scalable vector files, they are the preferred format for high-resolution label artwork intended for professional printing.

Pro Tips for Template Printing

• Always print a test sheet on plain paper before loading your label stock to check alignment and margins.
• Always print at 100% scale — never use "shrink to fit" or "fit to page" settings.
• If labels are printing slightly off, adjust your printer's paper size setting to match the sheet dimensions exactly.
• Check out our Avery Compatible Size Chart if you are looking to match a specific Avery label number.

Shop Matching Blank Labels

Every template in our library corresponds directly to a blank label sheet available in our store. Once you have your template set up, shop the matching blank label in the material and finish that fits your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these label templates free to download? Yes. Every label template on this page — in every format — is completely free to download with no account or purchase required.

What software do I need to use these templates? Microsoft Word handles the DOC templates, Adobe Acrobat or any PDF viewer opens the PDF templates, and Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or CorelDRAW work with the EPS files. The JPG images open in any photo viewer, browser, or design application.

Do these templates work with Avery label sizes? Many of our label sizes are compatible with Avery sizes. Visit our Avery Compatibility Chart to find the Avery equivalent for any size in our catalog.

Why is my label printing slightly off-center? The most common cause is a "fit to page" or "shrink to fit" print setting scaling your layout. Always print at exactly 100% scale. Also confirm your printer's paper size is set to Letter (8.5 x 11). Running a test print on plain paper before loading label sheets is the best way to catch alignment issues before they waste your label stock.

Can I use these templates with a roll label printer? These sheet-format templates are designed for standard 8.5 x 11 sheet label printers. Roll label printers use continuous roll stock and are typically set up through the printer's own software driver rather than a Word or PDF template.

Do the templates work for both inkjet and laser printers? The templates themselves work in any printer — they are just layout guides. What matters for print quality is using the correct blank label material for your printer type. Visit our blank labels page to shop by printer type.

Can I edit the templates in Canva or Google Docs? The PDF and JPG templates can be imported into Canva as background guides. Google Docs has limited support for precise label layouts, so Microsoft Word is recommended for the most accurate results. For professional design work, use the EPS or PDF template in Illustrator or Inkscape.
