Layflat = (Diameter + 2 mm) x 1.57, in common sense, diameter plays a key role in determine the layflat size of shrink sleeve.

The last equation shows that diameter x 1.57 (or pi/2) = (2r)*pi/2 = pi*r = half the circumference. So, if the label lies flat, half the circumference is indeed the width of the flattened shrink sleeve. 2mm may be added for twice the width of the foil.
