What 40 labels per A4 sheet means
A count of 40 per sheet does not fix the label size: the 7 sheets here use 3 sizes and 1 grid (4 × 10). Labels cover between 74 % and 98 % of the A4 page; the rest is margin and gaps.
Always choose the template by the code printed on the box: two 40-up sheets with different sizes or margins need different templates, even though the count matches. The most common size at this count is 45.7 × 25.4 mm (5 sheets).

How many 40-up sheets you need
Sheets needed for a run of labels at 40 per sheet, starting on a fresh sheet, and when the first 13 positions of a used sheet are already gone (start at label 14).
| Labels | Sheets (fresh sheet) | Sheets (start at label 14) | Blank labels left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 2 | 2 | 30 |
| 100 | 3 | 3 | 20 |
| 250 | 7 | 7 | 30 |
| 500 | 13 | 13 | 20 |
| 1000 | 25 | 26 | 0 |
Which 40-up sheet to pick
Avery J8654 is the default here because Avery codes are the usual reference for compatible sheets, and it shares its exact layout with 4 other sheets on this list, so its template prints on those too. Its labels are 45.7 mm (1.8″) by 25.4 mm (1″).
If you need bigger labels at the same count, the largest are 52 × 29.5 mm on Avery Zweckform 3651; the smallest are 45.7 × 25.4 mm on Avery L4770.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the labels on 40-up sheets?
It depends on the sheet: 45.7 × 25.4 mm (Avery L4770), 52 × 29.5 mm (Avery Zweckform 3651) and 48.5 × 25.4 mm (Avery Zweckform 4780).
How many sheets do I need for 500 labels at 40 per sheet?
13 sheets (20 labels left blank). For 100 labels: 3 sheets.
Is every 40-up template the same?
No. There are 3 different layouts at this count; label sizes and margins differ, so pick the template by the code on your box.
How do I print 40 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.
