How the Herma 5028 sheet is laid out
Herma 5028 labels are centred side to side (18.6 mm each) but start 22 mm from the top and end 21 mm from the bottom.
Columns have a 5.4 mm gutter but the 5 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a 5028 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
The 2 mm rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1.6 mm safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 68 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Herma 5028 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

Where the Herma 5028 numbers come from
The 5028 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; "5028" only names the sheet this template fits.
