How the Avery J8414 sheet is laid out
Avery J8414 labels are centred side to side (14.8 mm each) but start 20.4 mm from the top and end 22.6 mm from the bottom.
Columns have a 6.1 mm gutter but the 5 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a J8414 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
Labels cover 71 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Avery J8414 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

Where the Avery J8414 numbers come from
The J8414 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); "J8414" only names the sheet this template fits.
