How the Herma 4606 sheet is laid out
The Herma 4606 grid is not centred: 9.5 mm on the left, 10.5 mm on the right, so a template that assumes equal side margins drifts by 1 mm.
No gaps at all: every 4606 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 1.8 mm and avoid full-bleed colour.
Labels cover 84 % of the page; the rest is backing.

The 4606 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; "4606" only names the sheet this template fits.
