Exactly as they do in my small collection of needle tins, if they are bizarre and amusing (I found the oval tin jammed deep in the horn of an HMV 102 just a few days ago).

These should be printed as 8.5"x11" landscape layout.

Glad you decided on it, you won't be disappointed. I have spent many hours looking at tins, then searching on eBay for examples...

Good luck, that's why my avatar says "Needle Tins are addictive". A whole new rabbit hole to explore...
