How the OnlineLabels OL2683 sheet is laid out
The 3 columns and 3 rows of OnlineLabels OL2683 labels are centred: 5/16″ of backing at each side, 5/8″ at the top and bottom.
With 3/16″ between columns and 1 1/8″ between rows, a print that is off by less than 0.094″ still lands on the right OL2683 label.
Labels cover 47 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the OnlineLabels OL2683 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.
Designing for 2 1/2″ round OL2683 labels
The largest square inside a 2 1/2″ circle is 1.768″ (44.9 mm); keep centred text inside it, because box corners outside it are cut by the round die line. At 10 pt that holds about 9 lines of 23 characters.
