How the OnlineLabels OL225 (secondary) sheet is laid out
OnlineLabels OL225 (secondary) labels are centred side to side (1/8″ each) but start 9.382″ from the top and end 0.493″ from the bottom.
Rows are 1/8″ apart while the 6 columns touch; keep text 1/8″ inside each OL225 (secondary) 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 (secondary) columns may print short.
The 1/16″ rounded corners are drawn in the preview, with the 1/8″ safe area where text belongs.
Labels cover 9 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the OnlineLabels OL225 (secondary) layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.
