To save it as a file:

  1. Right-click on the link above.
  2. Select "Save Target As".
  3. Save it to your computer where you can find it.
  4. Print it, stick it, and get to it!

The label is 4.11 inches wide by 9.18 inches long, and fit around a standard tin/aluminum/whatever can. If you have a halfway decent color printer, it should come out looking like the real deal, or at least reasonably close.

Please note that the new label is in a .PDF file - you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open it.

If you have any trouble downloading the file, drop me a note, and I can send you one through an e-mail attachment.

Your Beanmaster,
