LABEL DESIGN PROMPT

"Create a professional, production-ready beverage label using my uploaded logo and the specifications below.

This is commercial print artwork only.

Do NOT generate concept art, product mockups, bottle mockups, sticker previews, floating labels, packaging mockups, die-cut previews, or product renderings.

The finished artwork should be indistinguishable from premium beverage packaging sold in grocery stores, convenience stores, and retail chains.

⸻

Label Specifications

Finished Trim Size

EDIT: 2 inches wide × 6 inches tall

Orientation

EDIT: Vertical

Finished Shape

EDIT: Rectangle with rounded corners.

The rounded corners represent only the physical die-cut performed during manufacturing after printing.

They are NOT part of the artwork.

Do NOT visually depict:

• Rounded corners
• Label shape
• Sticker shape
• Die-cut shape
• Cut path

The finished artwork should remain a complete rectangular print file.

⸻

Bleed

Include a 1/8-inch bleed on all four sides.

The artwork must be created on a full-bleed canvas measuring:

EDIT: 2.25 inches × 6.25 inches

⸻

Exact Canvas & Print Dimensions (Critical)

Create the artwork on an exact:

EDIT: 2.25 inch × 6.25 inch

full-bleed rectangular canvas.

Maintain this exact aspect ratio throughout.

Do NOT:

• Crop
• Stretch
• Compress
• Pad
• Distort
• Change the aspect ratio

Generate at 300 DPI or higher.

Preferred resolution:

3000 × 8333 pixels (or larger)

while maintaining the exact aspect ratio.

Output:

• High-resolution PNG
• Flattened artwork
• Commercial print quality
• Production ready
• Crisp
• Sharp
• Clean

⸻

TRUE FULL-BLEED COMMERCIAL PRINT ARTWORK (Critical)

Treat this artwork exactly as artwork built in Adobe Illustrator for professional commercial printing.

The generated image represents the entire print file, NOT the finished die-cut label.

The outer edge of the generated image is the edge of the print file—not the edge of the finished label.

The artwork must extend continuously and uninterrupted to the exact outermost pixel of the rectangular canvas.

The image should appear as one continuous sheet of professionally printed artwork with absolutely no indication of where the label will eventually be trimmed.

Extend all decorative artwork completely through the bleed including:

• Background colors
• Color transitions
• Gradients
• Requested images
• Sparkles
• Highlights
• Reflections
• Light rays
• Decorative graphics
• Texture
• Gloss effects

Artwork must continue seamlessly to every edge of the canvas.

• Transparent border
• White edge
• Transparent edge
• Paper edge
• Sticker edge
• Label edge
• Die-cut line
• Trim line
• Bleed line
• Cut line
• Shadow around the label
• Floating label
• Sticker appearance
• Packaging preview

The artwork should appear as one continuous commercial print file extending completely across the rectangular canvas.

Nothing should visually separate the artwork from the edge of the image.

Do NOT clip the artwork inside any shape.

The artwork should look professionally illustrated and immediately ready for commercial production.

⸻

Final Critical Instructions

Use the uploaded logo exactly as provided.

Do NOT redraw, reinterpret, recreate, or modify the logo in any way.

Integrate the original logo while preserving its colors, proportions, spacing, and legibility.

Create a true full-bleed commercial print file.

The artwork must completely cover the rectangular canvas from edge to edge.

There must be:

• NO visible bleed line
• NO visible trim line
• NO visible border
• NO visible outline
• NO visible keyline
• NO visible label edge
• NO simulated die-cut
• NO white edges
• NO white corners
• NO transparent areas
• NO floating-label appearance
• NO rounded clipping mask
• NO sticker appearance
• NO print-production artifacts

The final deliverable is a flat, production-ready print file, NOT a visualization of a label.

It should look exactly like the native artwork exported from Adobe Illustrator for commercial offset or digital label printing, with continuous artwork extending to the outermost pixel of the rectangular canvas and absolutely no visual indication of the final die-cut shape.

The finished artwork should appear as though it came directly from a professional beverage packaging design studio and is immediately ready to send to a commercial printing press."
