What 5 labels per US Letter sheet means
A count of 5 per sheet does not fix the label size: the 12 sheets here use 7 sizes and 3 grids (5 × 1, 1 × 5 and 2 blocks). Labels cover between 29 % and 91 % of the US Letter page; the rest is margin and gaps.
Always choose the template by the code printed on the box: two 5-up sheets with different sizes or margins need different templates, even though the count matches. The most common size at this count is 3.069″ round (3 sheets).

How many 5-up sheets you need
Sheets needed for a run of labels at 5 per sheet, starting on a fresh sheet, and when the first 1 positions of a used sheet are already gone (start at label 2).
| Labels | Sheets (fresh sheet) | Sheets (start at label 2) | Blank labels left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 10 | 11 | 0 |
| 100 | 20 | 21 | 0 |

| 500 | 100 | 101 | 0 |
| 1000 | 200 | 201 | 0 |
Which 5-up sheet to pick
Avery 89104 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 1 1/2″ (38.1 mm) by 11″ (279.4 mm).
If you need bigger labels at the same count, the largest are 2″ × 8 1/2″ on SheetLabels SL304; the smallest are 2″ × 4 1/2″ on OnlineLabels OL394.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the labels on 5-up sheets?
It depends on the sheet: 3.069″ round (Meritline 176-020-001), 1 1/2″ × 11″ (Avery 89104), 2″ × 8 1/2″ (SheetLabels SL304), 2″ × 8″ (SheetLabels SL527) and 2″ × 4 1/2″ (OnlineLabels OL394) and others.
How many sheets do I need for 500 labels at 5 per sheet?
100 sheets (0 labels left blank). For 100 labels: 20 sheets.
Is every 5-up template the same?
No. There are 8 different layouts at this count; label sizes and margins differ, so pick the template by the code on your box.
How do I print 5 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.
