If you use the cylindrical warp with the once option, all should be 
nice. Be sure to scale horizontaly so that it covers the correct part.
If it covers 1 fourth of the circonference, you need to use 
scale<1/4,1,1>. Without scaling, the image will get wrapped around 
exactly once, the right side touching the left side.
Scale along the Y direction to get the correct hight. It start at 1 unit 
high.
In this case, scaling along the Z axis have no effect.

You may want to give the label some thickness.
In that case, I'd use a cylinder just very slightly larger than the body 
of your object, and apply the image_map to it. Use a difference or 
intersection to keep only the part with your image, or use a transparent 
pigment for the part outside of the label. The transparent pigment will 
leave a gap that may be visible in some cases.
