What 27 labels per US Letter sheet means
A count of 27 per sheet does not fix the label size: the 2 sheets here use 2 sizes and 1 grid (3 × 9). Labels cover between 45 % and 51 % of the US Letter page; the rest is margin and gaps.
Always choose the template by the code printed on the box: two 27-up sheets with different sizes or margins need different templates, even though the count matches. The most common size at this count is 15/16″ × 1 7/8″ (1 sheet).
27-up sheets grouped by label size
| Label size | Columns × rows | Sheets | Example codes | Top / side margin | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15/16″ × 1 7/8″ | 3 × 9 | 1 | OnlineLabels OL2083 | 0.781″ / 1 5/16″ | 51 % |
| 1″ × 2″ | 3 × 9 | 1 | OnlineLabels OL9815 | 1/2″ / 1″ | 45 % |
How many 27-up sheets you need
Sheets needed for a run of labels at 27 per sheet, starting on a fresh sheet, and when the first 9 positions of a used sheet are already gone (start at label 10).
| Labels | Sheets (fresh sheet) | Sheets (start at label 10) | Blank labels left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 100 | 4 | 5 | 8 |
| 250 | 10 | 10 | 20 |
| 500 | 19 | 19 | 13 |
| 1000 | 38 | 38 | 26 |
Which 27-up sheet to pick
OnlineLabels OL2083 is the default here because it is the best-known code at this count; no other sheet on this list shares its exact layout, so print it with its own template. Its labels are 1 7/8″ (47.6 mm) by 15/16″ (23.8 mm).
15/16″ × 1 7/8″ is already the largest size at this count; the smallest are 1″ × 2″ on OnlineLabels OL9815.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the labels on 27-up sheets?
It depends on the sheet: 15/16″ × 1 7/8″ (OnlineLabels OL2083) and 1″ × 2″ (OnlineLabels OL9815).
How many sheets do I need for 500 labels at 27 per sheet?
19 sheets (13 labels left blank). For 100 labels: 4 sheets.
Is every 27-up template the same?
No. There are 2 different layouts at this count; label sizes and margins differ, so pick the template by the code on your box.
How do I print 27 labels per sheet correctly?
Download the PDF from the designer and print on US Letter paper at 100 % (“Actual size”), without “fit to page”. Print one test page on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet first.
