I saw a few examples on how to do this on this site, mostly wrapping curves, I did see a mention of maybe doing it with a sheet metal bend, and that work great! So I thought I'd share. Just convert the label sheet metal and use the bend feature, sketch a line on the back middle of the label, set the radius and dink around with the angle, start small and keep increasing it until it almost bends to the end. You could probably figure it out mathematically.
