How the Herma 10001 sheet is laid out
The Herma 10001 grid is not centred: 8 mm on the left, 7.4 mm on the right, so a template that assumes equal side margins drifts by 0.6 mm.
Columns have a 2.8 mm gutter but the 27 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a 10001 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 3 mm rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 2 mm safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 77 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Herma 10001 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

How much text fits on a Herma 10001 label
A 10001 label takes one 10 pt line of about 12 characters. Helvetica estimates with a 2 mm inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 2 | 17 |
| 8 pt | 1 | 15 |
| 10 pt | 1 | 12 |

Printing Herma 10001 labels straight
-
Download the PDF from the tool (or the blank 10001 template) and set tray and dialog to A4: US Letter is 18 mm shorter and cuts off the last 10001 row.
-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom 10001 row by roughly 8.5 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against a 10001 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the Herma 10001 numbers come from
The 10001 geometry has not yet been checked against Herma's published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (herma-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Herma; "10001" only names the sheet this template fits.
