How the Avery L7161 sheet is laid out
The 3 columns and 6 rows of Avery L7161 labels are centred: 7.2 mm of backing at each side, 8.8 mm at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 2.5 mm gutter but the 6 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off an L7161 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 2.5 mm rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1.8 mm safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 85 % of the page; the rest is backing.

Where the Avery L7161 numbers come from
The L7161 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 46.56 mm labels, 3 x 6, first label 7.21 mm from the left and 8.82 mm from the top, pitch 66.04 x 46.56 mm; gLabels had 63.57 x 46.78 mm from 7.41 / 8.11 mm at 65.93 x 46.74 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); "L7161" only names the sheet this template fits.
