How the Avery Zweckform 3481 sheet is laid out
The 3 columns and 7 rows of Avery Zweckform 3481 labels are centred: 0 mm of backing at each side, 5 mm at the top and bottom.
No gaps at all: every 3481 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 6 mm and avoid full-bleed colour.
The 0 mm side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer 3481 columns may print short.
Labels cover 97 % of the page.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Avery Zweckform 3481 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

How much text fits on an Avery Zweckform 3481 label
At 10 pt a 3481 label holds about 8 lines of 37 characters: room for a return address plus a short message, or a list of contents. Helvetica estimates with a 2 mm inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The 3481 labels run to the paper edge, where most printers cannot print, so keep text 6 mm from the outer edges.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 12 | 53 |
| 8 pt | 10 | 46 |
| 10 pt | 8 | 37 |
| 12 pt | 7 | 31 |
| 14 pt | 6 | 26 |

Where the Avery Zweckform 3481 numbers come from
The 3481 geometry has not yet been checked against Avery Zweckform's published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (zweckform-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery Zweckform; "3481" only names the sheet this template fits.
