How the Avery L7165 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 4 rows of Avery L7165 labels are centred: 4.7 mm of backing at each side, 13 mm at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 2.6 mm gutter but the 4 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off an L7165 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 4.7 mm side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer L7165 columns may print short.
Labels cover 86 % of the page; the rest is backing.

How much text fits on an Avery L7165 label
At 10 pt an L7165 label holds about 15 lines of 53 characters: room for a full shipping block, a packing list or a page of notes, so larger type (14 pt gives 10 lines) is usually the better choice. Helvetica estimates with a 2 mm inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The L7165 labels come within 4.6 mm of the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 2 mm from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 21 | 76 |
| 8 pt | 18 | 67 |
| 10 pt | 15 | 53 |
| 12 pt | 12 | 44 |
| 14 pt | 10 | 38 |

Where the Avery L7165 numbers come from
The L7165 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. Other geometry: gLabels template database (avery-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "L7165" only names the sheet this template fits.
