How the Tough-Tags TTLW-2016 sheet is laid out
The Tough-Tags TTLW-2016 grid is not centred: 0.944″ on the left, 0.676″ on the right, so a template that assumes equal side margins drifts by 0.269″.
With 0.12″ between columns and 0.129″ between rows, a print that is off by less than 1/16″ still lands on the right TTLW-2016 label.
The 0.069″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 3/16″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 58 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Tough-Tags TTLW-2016 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

How much text fits on a Tough-Tags TTLW-2016 label
At 10 pt only 2 lines of about 16 characters fit on a TTLW-2016 label; 8 pt gives 20 characters per line. Helvetica estimates with a 0.069″ inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The TTLW-2016 labels come within 0.058″ of the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 3/16″ from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 3 | 23 |
| 8 pt | 2 | 20 |
| 10 pt | 2 | 16 |
| 12 pt | 1 | 13 |
| 14 pt | 1 | 11 |
Printing Tough-Tags TTLW-2016 labels straight
-
Download the PDF from the tool (or the blank TTLW-2016 template) and use US Letter paper: on A4 (6 mm narrower, 18 mm taller) the TTLW-2016 rows drift down the page.
-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom TTLW-2016 row by roughly 8.1 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against a TTLW-2016 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the Tough-Tags TTLW-2016 numbers come from
The TTLW-2016 geometry has not yet been checked against Tough-Tags' published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (misc-us-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Tough-Tags; "TTLW-2016" only names the sheet this template fits.
