Article for Pentel Book - Japanese Labels

I am putting together a new Appendix Article covering Japanese Labels and Tags for Pentel Pencils prior to Barcode labels and tags.

One thing is that there are some labels that wrap around a pencil, so you can’t get the whole thing in 1 shot. Some of these, such as the PD1055 label will have to be multiple shots to capture the whole thing since they wrap completely around the pencil, but others I have a question about.

Here is an example: The PS535, which is a hexagonal sticker. I have 3 examples I could use, and I would like your thoughts on which one I should use.

First, just the front, single shot and stating that it is hexagonal.

Next, 2 shots, showing the different sides.

Last is 3 shots, combining the above.

So my question for everyone is, which is the best way to show the above sticker?

I would say the 2 shot version is sufficient

Same, I’d say 2
