Leave one end open for replacement. Ask for the paper stock and reading direction before choosing the opening side. Keep channel_gap independently editable for a printed fit coupon.","steps":[{"title":"Frame the readable area","detail":"Sketch the label at its viewing angle and mark the text rectangle. Place the retaining lips outside that rectangle so they cover only blank margins."},{"title":"Create the sliding channel","detail":"Extrude the backing and upper and lower lips along the label width. Close the far end and leave the insertion end unobstructed."},{"title":"Add a removal notch","detail":"Cut a small fingertip notch near the open end and round its edges.
