What 16 labels per A4 sheet means
A count of 16 per sheet does not fix the label size: the 3 sheets here use 2 sizes and 1 grid (2 × 8). Labels cover between 86 % and 100 % of the A4 page; the rest is margin and gaps.
Always choose the template by the code printed on the box: two 16-up sheets with different sizes or margins need different templates, even though the count matches. The most common size at this count is 99.1 × 33.9 mm (2 sheets).
16-up sheets grouped by label size
| Label size | Columns × rows | Sheets | Example codes | Top / side margin | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 99.1 × 33.9 mm | 2 × 8 | 2 | Avery L7162, Avery J8162 | 13 mm / 4.7 mm | 86 % |
| 105.1 × 37 mm | 2 × 8 | 1 | Herma 4620 | 0 mm / 0 mm | 100 % |
How many 16-up sheets you need
Sheets needed for a run of labels at 16 per sheet, starting on a fresh sheet, and when the first 5 positions of a used sheet are already gone (start at label 6).
| Labels | Sheets (fresh sheet) | Sheets (start at label 6) | Blank labels left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 4 | 4 | 14 |
| 100 | 7 | 7 | 12 |
| 250 | 16 | 16 | 6 |
| 500 | 32 | 32 | 12 |
| 1000 | 63 | 63 | 8 |
Which 16-up sheet to pick
Avery J8162 is the default here because Avery codes are the usual reference for compatible sheets, and it shares its exact layout with 1 other sheet on this list, so its template prints on those too. Its labels are 99.1 mm (3.9″) by 33.9 mm (1.333″).
If you need bigger labels at the same count, the largest are 105.1 × 37 mm on Herma 4620; the smallest are 99.1 × 33.9 mm on Avery L7162.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the labels on 16-up sheets?
It depends on the sheet: 99.1 × 33.9 mm (Avery L7162) and 105.1 × 37 mm (Herma 4620).
How many sheets do I need for 500 labels at 16 per sheet?
32 sheets (12 labels left blank). For 100 labels: 7 sheets.
Is every 16-up template the same?
No. There are 2 different layouts at this count; label sizes and margins differ, so pick the template by the code on your box.
How do I print 16 labels per sheet correctly?
Download the PDF from the designer and print on A4 paper at 100 % (“Actual size”), without “fit to page”. Print one test page on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet first.
