How the Herma 4457 sheet is laid out
Herma 4457 labels are centred side to side (0 mm each) but start 5.5 mm from the top and end 3.5 mm from the bottom.
No gaps at all: every 4457 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 4457 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 Herma 4457 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

How much text fits on a Herma 4457 label
At 10 pt a 4457 label holds about 9 lines of 55 characters: room for a return address plus a short message, or a list of contents. Helvetica estimates with a 3.2 mm inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit. The 4457 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 | 14 | 79 |
| 8 pt | 12 | 69 |
| 10 pt | 9 | 55 |
| 12 pt | 8 | 46 |
| 14 pt | 7 | 39 |

Where the Herma 4457 numbers come from
The 4457 geometry has not yet been checked against Herma's published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (herma-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Herma; "4457" only names the sheet this template fits.
