How the Avery 5163 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 5 rows of Avery 5163 labels are centred: 0.162″ of backing at each side, 1/2″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 3/16″ gutter but the 5 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a 5163 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 0.162″ side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer 5163 columns may print short.
The 1/8″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/8″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 86 % of the page; the rest is backing.
