How the Avery 18036 sheet is laid out
The Avery 18036 grid is not centred: 0 mm on the left, 0.5 mm on the right, so a template that assumes equal side margins drifts by 0.5 mm.
No gaps at all: every 18036 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 6 mm and avoid full-bleed colour.
The 0 mm side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer 18036 columns may print short.
Labels cover 97 % of the page.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Avery 18036 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

How much text fits on an Avery 18036 label
At 10 pt an 18036 label holds about 5 lines of 35 characters, room for an address with a company line. Helvetica estimates with a 3.5 mm inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The 18036 labels run to the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 6 mm from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 8 | 50 |
| 8 pt | 7 | 44 |
| 10 pt | 5 | 35 |
| 12 pt | 4 | 29 |
| 14 pt | 4 | 25 |
Printing Avery 18036 labels straight
-
Download the PDF from the tool (or the blank 18036 template) and set tray and dialog to A4: US Letter is 18 mm shorter and cuts off the last 18036 row.
-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom 18036 row by roughly 8.8 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against an 18036 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the Avery 18036 numbers come from
The 18036 geometry has not yet been checked against Avery's published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "18036" only names the sheet this template fits.
