Help unwrapping cylinder with extruded text?

Hi, I was trying to us this Sketch Wrapper FS but either it's not working (or doesn't support what I'm doing), or I'm doing something wrong. Here's my document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8264e49b4b296ac1ed526b9d/w/c629057dde8a822c72ebf90c/e/0300fb171883a280a4e3a900?renderMode=0&uiState=63e40daa694312513d4295e3
My goal here is to flatten the "label" so I can 3D print it flat rather than as a cylinder.
Thanks!

Can be done by starting with a sheet part. Text is sketched in flat view.

Can't modify the text but can "use" and modify. See sketch 2.
