How the Avery J8164 sheet is laid out
The 3 columns and 4 rows of Avery J8164 labels are centred: 7.2 mm of backing at each side, 4.6 mm at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 2.5 mm gutter but the 4 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a J8164 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 3 mm rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 2 mm safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 88 % of the page; the rest is backing.

How much text fits on an Avery J8164 label
At 10 pt a J8164 label holds about 16 lines of 34 characters: room for a return address plus a short message, or a list of contents. Helvetica estimates with a 1.8 mm inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The J8164 labels come within 4.6 mm of the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 2 mm from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 23 | 48 |
| 8 pt | 20 | 42 |
| 10 pt | 16 | 34 |
| 12 pt | 13 | 28 |
| 14 pt | 11 | 24 |

Where the Avery J8164 numbers come from
The J8164 size, count, layout and margins agree with the LibreOffice label database (checked 2026-10-24); this is a cross-reference, not a check against Avery's own template. Data note: Cross-checked against LibreOffice's label database (Avery A4): 63.5 x 71.97 mm labels, 3 x 4, first label 7.21 mm from the left and 4.57 mm from the top, pitch 66.04 x 71.97 mm; gLabels had 63.5 x 71.98 mm from 7.35 / 3.53 mm at 66 x 71.98 mm. avery.co.uk blocks automated requests, so Avery's own A4 page could not be fetched. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "J8164" only names the sheet this template fits.
