How the OnlineLabels OL1543 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 20 rows of OnlineLabels OL1543 labels are centred: 1/2″ of backing at each side, 1/2″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 1 1/4″ gutter but the 20 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off an OL1543 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 1/8″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/16″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 67 % of the page; the rest is backing.
