How the Avery 5160 sheet is laid out
The 3 columns and 10 rows of Avery 5160 labels are centred: 3/16″ of backing at each side, 1/2″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 1/8″ gutter but the 10 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a 5160 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 0.1″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/16″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 84 % of the page; the rest is backing.

Printing Avery 5160 labels straight

-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom 5160 row by roughly 8 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against a 5160 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the Avery 5160 numbers come from
The 5160 size, count, layout and margins match Avery's published template (checked 2026-10-24), blank template U-0087-01. Data note: Avery's own blank template (U-0087-01, linked from the 5160, 5260, 5520, 5960, 8160, 8250, 8460 and 18160 pages) starts the first column 3/16 in from the left edge with a 2 3/4 in horizontal pitch; gLabels had 5/32 in and 2 25/32 in, which put the outer columns 0.8 mm off. LibreOffice's label database agrees with Avery. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-us-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "5160" only names the sheet this template fits.
