How the Avery J8658 sheet is laid out
The 7 columns and 27 rows of Avery J8658 labels are centred: 8.5 mm of backing at each side, 13.4 mm at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 2.5 mm gutter but the 27 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a J8658 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 1 mm rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 2 mm safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 77 % of the page; the rest is backing.

Where the Avery J8658 numbers come from
The J8658 size, count, layout and margins agree with the LibreOffice label database (checked 2026-10-24); this is a cross-reference, not a check against Avery's own template. Data note: Cross-checked against LibreOffice's label database (Avery A4): 25.4 x 10 mm labels, 7 x 27, first label 8.48 mm from the left and 13.43 mm from the top, pitch 27.94 x 10 mm; gLabels had 25.4 x 10 mm from 5 / 13 mm at 28.5 x 10.14 mm. avery.co.uk blocks automated requests, so Avery's own A4 page could not be fetched. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "J8658" only names the sheet this template fits.
