Rounded Corner Rectangles - What are rounded corner rectangles?

Definition of ROUNDED CORNER RECTANGLES:

Labels that are rectangular in shape and have rounded corners; the corners do not form a sharp point, but instead are curved into an arc. The die used to cut these labels are shaped with the required degree of curvature; the corner radius can vary from a very rounded corner to a sharper corner that is closer to the 90 degree angle of a square cut corner rectangle.

Labels in the shape of rectangles with rounded corners may be chosen because they give a more decorative appearance or because they help to avoid issues with printer margins (they tend to be cut with a selvedge around the labels, which means they are unlikely to fall within the unprintable area of a sheet).

An urgent label stuck onto an envelope; the label is a rounded corner rectangle, which means that the corners are rounded rather than meeting at a 90° angle or point.
