What 48 labels per US Letter sheet means
A count of 48 per sheet does not fix the label size: the 2 sheets here use 2 sizes and 1 grid (6 × 8). Labels cover between 58 % and 63 % of the US Letter page; the rest is margin and gaps.
Always choose the template by the code printed on the box: two 48-up sheets with different sizes or margins need different templates, even though the count matches. The most common size at this count is 1.2″ round (1 sheet).
48-up sheets grouped by label size
| Label size | Columns × rows | Sheets | Example codes | Top / side margin | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2″ round | 6 × 8 | 1 | OnlineLabels OL6000 | 0.507″ / 1/4″ | 58 % |
| 1 1/4″ round | 6 × 8 | 1 | OnlineLabels OL3012 | 0.281″ / 0.344″ | 63 % |
How many 48-up sheets you need
Sheets needed for a run of labels at 48 per sheet, starting on a fresh sheet, and when the first 16 positions of a used sheet are already gone (start at label 17).
| Labels | Sheets (fresh sheet) | Sheets (start at label 17) | Blank labels left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 2 | 2 | 46 |
| 100 | 3 | 3 | 44 |
| 250 | 6 | 6 | 38 |
| 500 | 11 | 11 | 28 |
| 1000 | 21 | 22 | 8 |
Which 48-up sheet to pick
OnlineLabels OL3012 is the default here because it is the best-known code at this count; no other sheet on this list shares its exact layout, so print it with its own template. Its labels are 1 1/4″ (31.7 mm) by 1 1/4″ (31.7 mm).
1 1/4″ round is already the largest size at this count; the smallest are 1.2″ round on OnlineLabels OL6000.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the labels on 48-up sheets?
It depends on the sheet: 1.2″ round (OnlineLabels OL6000) and 1 1/4″ round (OnlineLabels OL3012).
How many sheets do I need for 500 labels at 48 per sheet?
11 sheets (28 labels left blank). For 100 labels: 3 sheets.
Is every 48-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 48 labels per sheet correctly?
Download the PDF from the designer and print on US Letter paper at 100 % (“Actual size”), without “fit to page”. Print one test page on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet first.
