How the OnlineLabels OL225 (main) sheet is laid out
OnlineLabels OL225 (main) labels are centred side to side (1/8″ each) but start 1/2″ from the top and end 1 3/4″ from the bottom.
Rows are 1/4″ apart while the 3 columns touch; keep text 1/8″ inside each OL225 (main) label.
The 1/8″ side margin is inside the roughly 6 mm many printers cannot reach, so edge-to-edge colour on the outer OL225 (main) columns may print short.
The 0.109″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/8″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 73 % of the page; the rest is backing.
