How the SheetLabels SL145 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 2 rows of SheetLabels SL145 labels are centred: 1/2″ of backing at each side, 1/2″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 1/2″ gutter but the 2 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a SL145 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 0.1″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/8″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 75 % of the page; the rest is backing.

How much text fits on a SheetLabels SL145 label
At 10 pt a SL145 label holds about 28 lines of 46 characters: room for a full shipping block, a packing list or a page of notes, so larger type (14 pt gives 20 lines) is usually the better choice. Helvetica estimates with a 1/8″ inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 40 | 66 |
| 8 pt | 35 | 58 |
| 10 pt | 28 | 46 |
| 12 pt | 23 | 39 |
| 14 pt | 20 | 33 |
Printing SheetLabels SL145 labels straight
-
Download the PDF from the tool (or the blank SL145 template) and use US Letter paper: on A4 (6 mm narrower, 18 mm taller) the SL145 rows drift down the page.
-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom SL145 row by roughly 8 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against a SL145 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the SheetLabels SL145 numbers come from
The SL145 geometry has not yet been checked against SheetLabels' published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (sheetlabels-us-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with SheetLabels; "SL145" only names the sheet this template fits.
