How the OnlineLabels OL2050 sheet is laid out
The 13 columns and 17 rows of OnlineLabels OL2050 labels are centred: 1/4″ of backing at each side, 1/4″ at the top and bottom.
With 1/8″ between columns and 1/8″ between rows, a print that is off by less than 1/16″ still lands on the right OL2050 label.
Labels cover 59 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the OnlineLabels OL2050 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

Where the OnlineLabels OL2050 numbers come from
