How the OnlineLabels OL550 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 4 rows of OnlineLabels OL550 labels are centred: 0″ of backing at each side, 0″ at the top and bottom.
No gaps at all: every OL550 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 1/4″ and avoid full-bleed colour.
The 0″ side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer OL550 columns may print short.
Labels cover 100 % of the page.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the OnlineLabels OL550 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

How much text fits on an OnlineLabels OL550 label
At 10 pt an OL550 label holds about 15 lines of 59 characters: room for a full shipping block, a packing list or a page of notes, so larger type (14 pt gives 11 lines) is usually the better choice. Helvetica estimates with a 0.056″ inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The OL550 labels run to the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 1/4″ from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 22 | 85 |
| 8 pt | 19 | 74 |
| 10 pt | 15 | 59 |
| 12 pt | 13 | 49 |
| 14 pt | 11 | 42 |
Printing OnlineLabels OL550 labels straight
-
Download the PDF from the tool (or the blank OL550 template) and use US Letter paper: on A4 (6 mm narrower, 18 mm taller) the OL550 rows drift down the page.
-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom OL550 row by roughly 8.4 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against an OL550 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the OnlineLabels OL550 numbers come from
The OL550 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; "OL550" only names the sheet this template fits.
