How the Avery 5164 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 3 rows of Avery 5164 labels are centred: 0.156″ of backing at each side, 1/2″ at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 3/16″ gutter but the 3 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a 5164 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 5164 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.

How much text fits on an Avery 5164 label
At 10 pt a 5164 label holds about 18 lines of 54 characters: room for a full shipping block, a packing list or a page of notes, so larger type (14 pt gives 13 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 | 26 | 77 |
| 8 pt | 23 | 67 |
| 10 pt | 18 | 54 |
| 12 pt | 15 | 45 |
| 14 pt | 13 | 38 |
