What 9 labels per US Letter sheet means
A count of 9 per sheet does not fix the label size: the 18 sheets here use 7 sizes and 1 grid (3 × 3). Labels cover between 47 % and 73 % of the US Letter page; the rest is margin and gaps.
Always choose the template by the code printed on the box: two 9-up sheets with different sizes or margins need different templates, even though the count matches. The most common size at this count is 2 3/4″ × 2 3/4″ (10 sheets).

| Labels | Sheets (fresh sheet) | Sheets (start at label 4) | Blank labels left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 6 | 6 | 4 |
| 100 | 12 | 12 | 8 |

| 500 | 56 | 56 | 4 |
| 1000 | 112 | 112 | 8 |
Which 9-up sheet to pick
Avery 5096 is the default here because Avery codes are the usual reference for compatible sheets, and it shares its exact layout with 9 other sheets on this list, so its template prints on those too. Its labels are 2 3/4″ (69.9 mm) by 2 3/4″ (69.9 mm).
2 3/4″ × 2 3/4″ is already the largest size at this count; the smallest are 2 1/2″ round on Avery 3274.3.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the labels on 9-up sheets?
It depends on the sheet: 2 3/4″ × 2 3/4″ (Avery 5196), 2 1/2″ × 2 1/2″ (Avery 3111), 2 1/2″ round (Avery 3274.3), 2 3/8″ × 3″ (OnlineLabels OL1555) and 2 1/2″ × 3″ (OnlineLabels OL3089) and others.
How many sheets do I need for 500 labels at 9 per sheet?
56 sheets (4 labels left blank). For 100 labels: 12 sheets.
Is every 9-up template the same?
No. There are 8 different layouts at this count; label sizes and margins differ, so pick the template by the code on your box.
How do I print 9 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.
