How the Avery 6573 sheet is laid out
The 1 column and 2 rows of Avery 6573 labels are centred: 3/16″ of backing at each side, 1/2″ at the top and bottom.
No gaps at all: every 6573 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 1/16″ and avoid full-bleed colour.
The 3/16″ side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer 6573 columns may print short.
The 1/16″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/16″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 87 % of the page; the rest is backing.

How much text fits on an Avery 6573 label
At 10 pt a 6573 label holds about 29 lines of 115 characters: room for a full shipping block, a packing list or a page of notes, so larger type (14 pt gives 20 lines) is usually the better choice. Helvetica estimates with a 1/16″ inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 41 | 164 |
| 8 pt | 36 | 144 |
| 10 pt | 29 | 115 |
| 12 pt | 24 | 96 |

Printing Avery 6573 labels straight
-

-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom 6573 row by roughly 8 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against a 6573 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the Avery 6573 numbers come from
The 6573 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); "6573" only names the sheet this template fits.
