How the Avery J8666 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 5 rows of Avery J8666 labels are centred: 23.3 mm of backing at each side, 18.7 mm at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 23.1 mm gutter but the 5 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a J8666 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 1.8 mm rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1.8 mm safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 58 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Avery J8666 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

Where the Avery J8666 numbers come from
The J8666 geometry has not yet been checked against Avery's published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "J8666" only names the sheet this template fits.
