How the OnlineLabels OL250 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 6 rows of OnlineLabels OL250 labels are centred: 0.173″ of backing at each side, 1.015″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 0.155″ gutter but the 6 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off an OL250 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 0.173″ side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer OL250 columns may print short.
The 1/16″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/8″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 77 % of the page; the rest is backing.

How much text fits on an OnlineLabels OL250 label
At 10 pt an OL250 label holds about 8 lines of 56 characters: room for a return address plus a short message, or a list of contents. Helvetica estimates with a 0.056″ inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The OL250 labels come within 0.172″ of the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 1/8″ from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 11 | 80 |
| 8 pt | 10 | 70 |
| 10 pt | 8 | 56 |
| 12 pt | 6 | 46 |
| 14 pt | 5 | 40 |
Printing OnlineLabels OL250 labels straight
-
Download the PDF from the tool (or the blank OL250 template) and use US Letter paper: on A4 (6 mm narrower, 18 mm taller) the OL250 rows drift down the page.
-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom OL250 row by roughly 7.6 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against an OL250 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the OnlineLabels OL250 numbers come from
The OL250 geometry has not yet been checked against OnlineLabels' published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (online-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with OnlineLabels; "OL250" only names the sheet this template fits.
