How the Avery 5293 sheet is laid out
Avery 5293 labels are centred side to side (7/16″ each) but start 1/2″ from the top and end 0.542″ from the bottom.
With 3/8″ between columns and 0.042″ between rows, a print that is off by less than 0.021″ still lands on the right 5293 label.
Labels cover 53 % of the page; the rest is backing.
Designing for 1 5/8″ round 5293 labels
The largest square inside a 1 5/8″ circle is 1.149″ (29.2 mm); keep centred text inside it, because box corners outside it are cut by the round die line. At 10 pt that holds about 6 lines of 14 characters.

Where the Avery 5293 numbers come from
The 5293 count, layout and margins match Avery's published template (checked 2026-10-24), blank template U-0099-01. Data note: Avery's blank template U-0099-01: 1 5/8 in circles from 0.5 in top and 0.4375 in left at a 2 in x 1 2/3 in pitch; gLabels' grid put the first row 1.2 mm low. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-us-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "5293" only names the sheet this template fits.
