Produce labels for the #15 and #20 cans
For the 10-in-1 Ration I have printed several different can labels. The original can size for the vegetables is of the 20-ounce capacity, traditionally called a "No. 2" can. However, this size is not the standard size you find in the stores anymore today.
To anticipate this problem we have reproduced the labels in both the original size (#20/500 ml) and in the modern 15-ounce size (#15/440 ml). In the photo above left the #15 size is standing on top of the #20 size for comparison. Make sure first which can size you can find locally. When ordering, please state the size you want.
In addition to the 10-in-1 Ration can labels there are few extra labels for use in field kitchens or other vintage settings. These labels are sized to fit the modern 15-ounce cans. The Crushed Pineapple label fit a 20-ounce can though.
Some labels are slightly oversized and may require some trimming. Try fit the label for size before glueing.
These labels are recreated in cooperation with
Frontline Ration.

Corned Beef labels €1.50
Roast Beef label €1
Treet Luncheon Meat label €1
The 12-ounce truncated Corned Beef cans are still the same today with the twist key opening and two labels are available. These labels are specially die cut to follow the contour of the truncated cans. The Donald Cook’s label has a cut-out for the openings tab, the Famous Flavor has no hole and the tab needs to be pushed through the paper.
The Red Seal roast beef is not an exact reproduction but a new made design based on original images.
And the Treet luncheon meat label fits around a standard 12 oz. (340 gr.) spam can.
Evaporated Milk label €1
In the 10-in-1 Ration two small 6-ounce (170 ml) cans of evaporated milk were included. The size of these cans are roughly 2.5 inch in diameter and are about 2.5 inch in height (63 x 63 mm).
Three brands are available: Swift's, Pet and Libby's evaporated milk.
Soluble Coffee Product label €1
Small cans holding one ounce of soluble coffee were included in the 10-in-1 Ration. The size of this can was 202 x 106 and is about the equivalent of the small modern 70 ml tomato paste cans.
To reproduce this product you should find the small tomato paste cans (#202 / 52mm) without the easy opening feature. Cut or drill carefully a hole in the bottom and wash out the tomato paste. Dry the rinsed can thoroughly. Fill the can through the hole with instant coffee powder and seal the hole with a round metallic sticker. Add the label.
