How the OnlineLabels OL248 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 7 rows of OnlineLabels OL248 labels are centred: 1″ of backing at each side, 1/4″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 1/2″ gutter but the 7 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off an OL248 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
Labels cover 67 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the OnlineLabels OL248 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

Where the OnlineLabels OL248 numbers come from
