How the Avery 6121 sheet is laid out
The Avery 6121 grid is not centred: 9.5 mm on the left, 10.1 mm on the right, so a template that assumes equal side margins drifts by 0.6 mm.
No gaps at all: every 6121 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 3 mm and avoid full-bleed colour.
Labels cover 84 % of the page; the rest is backing.

Where the Avery 6121 numbers come from
The 6121 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); "6121" only names the sheet this template fits.
