How the Avery L7173 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 5 rows of Avery L7173 labels are centred: 4.7 mm of backing at each side, 6 mm at the top and bottom.
Columns have a 2.5 mm gutter but the 5 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off an L7173 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 L7173 columns may print short.
The 1.8 mm rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 2 mm safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 91 % of the page.

How much text fits on an Avery L7173 label
At 10 pt an L7173 label holds about 12 lines of 54 characters: room for a full shipping block, a packing list or a page of notes, so larger type (14 pt gives 9 lines) is usually the better choice. Helvetica estimates with a 1.8 mm inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The L7173 labels come within 4.7 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 | 18 | 77 |
| 8 pt | 15 | 67 |
| 10 pt | 12 | 54 |
| 12 pt | 10 | 45 |
| 14 pt | 9 | 38 |

Where the Avery L7173 numbers come from
The L7173 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: Missing from gLabels. Full geometry from LibreOffice's label database (Avery A4); corner radius taken from the gLabels row of L7163 (same product line, outline only). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "L7173" only names the sheet this template fits.
