What 6 labels per US Letter sheet means
A count of 6 per sheet does not fix the label size: the 38 sheets here use 19 sizes and 4 grids (2 × 3, 6 × 1, 2 blocks and 3 × 2). Labels cover between 8 % and 100 % of the US Letter page; the rest is margin and gaps.
Always choose the template by the code printed on the box: two 6-up sheets with different sizes or margins need different templates, even though the count matches. The most common size at this count is 3 1/3″ × 4″ (13 sheets).

How many 6-up sheets you need
Sheets needed for a run of labels at 6 per sheet, starting on a fresh sheet, and when the first 2 positions of a used sheet are already gone (start at label 3).
| Labels | Sheets (fresh sheet) | Sheets (start at label 3) | Blank labels left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 9 | 9 | 4 |
| 100 | 17 | 17 | 2 |
| 250 | 42 | 42 | 2 |
| 500 | 84 | 84 | 4 |
| 1000 | 167 | 167 | 2 |
Which 6-up sheet to pick
Avery 5164 is the default here because Avery codes are the usual reference for compatible sheets, and it shares its exact layout with 12 other sheets on this list, so its template prints on those too. Its labels are 4″ (101.6 mm) by 3 1/3″ (84.7 mm).
If you need bigger labels at the same count, the largest are 3 2/3″ × 4 1/4″ on SheetLabels SL530; the smallest are 1/3″ × 3.867″ on OnlineLabels OL9600 (spin label). LabelGrid recommends 6-up sheets for Halloween party favor labels, Christmas gift tag labels, New Year labels, shipping labels and name badge labels.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the labels on 6-up sheets?
It depends on the sheet: 3 1/3″ × 4″ (Avery 5164), 3 5/16″ round (Avery 5295), 3″ × 3 3/4″ (Avery 6874), 3″ × 4″ (Avery 5392) and 3″ round (SheetLabels SL228) and others.
How many sheets do I need for 500 labels at 6 per sheet?
84 sheets (4 labels left blank). For 100 labels: 17 sheets.
Is every 6-up template the same?
No. There are 20 different layouts at this count; label sizes and margins differ, so pick the template by the code on your box.
How do I print 6 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.
