How the Avery 5663 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 5 rows of Avery 5663 labels are centred: 0″ of backing at each side, 1/2″ at the top and bottom.
No gaps at all: every 5663 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 1/4″ and avoid full-bleed colour.
The 0″ side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer 5663 columns may print short.
Labels cover 91 % of the page.

How much text fits on an Avery 5663 label
At 10 pt a 5663 label holds about 11 lines of 59 characters: room for a return address plus a short message, or a list of contents. Helvetica estimates with a 1/16″ inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The 5663 labels run to the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 1/4″ from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 16 | 84 |
| 8 pt | 14 | 74 |
| 10 pt | 11 | 59 |
| 12 pt | 9 | 49 |
| 14 pt | 8 | 42 |
Printing Avery 5663 labels straight

-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom 5663 row by roughly 8 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against a 5663 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the Avery 5663 numbers come from
The 5663 geometry has not yet been checked against Avery's published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-us-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "5663" only names the sheet this template fits.
