Hi there, 

 

I' hoping someone can help.  I'm a bit of a newbie to illustrator, but I've managed to create an oblong label.  To place this on a conical pot I need to send the artwork to the printer.  I know the taper should be 11 degrees and I can warp my image.  So far so good.  problem is the bleed line and outline doesn't warp.  I'm hoping someone can please help.  It's driving me mad! thanks

It would probably make more sense to do the math on the actual parameters of the cone and draw the whole thing cleanly. There's enough online calculators for unwrapped cone surfaces and once you have the values it would be easy enough to draw the partial circles in AI and draw everything you need in a clean manner...

As Monika said, it would be helpful to see what you have done so far. Did you get a printing template from the printer to work with?
