How the Avery 5162 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 7 rows of Avery 5162 labels are centred: 0.156″ of backing at each side, 5/6″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 3/16″ gutter but the 7 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a 5162 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 0.156″ side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer 5162 columns may print short.
The 1/16″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/8″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 80 % of the page; the rest is backing.
