Labels per sheet is what sets the unit cost
With stickers and labels, how many you fit on one sheet is the unit price. Shaving a label by a hundredth of an inch, or simply turning it on its side, often buys a whole extra row. Enter sheet and label sizes, the gap between labels, and the side and top margins (Avery 5160, for example, uses 0.1875 in sides and 0.5 in top and bottom), and the grid falls out.
How it is calculated
Inside the area left after the margin, the count across is the usable width plus one gap, divided by label width plus gap, rounded down. Rows work the same way. The layout with label width and height swapped is calculated too, shown side by side, and the leftover strip is reported for whichever fits more. Current as of October 2026.
Limits and disclaimer
Only rectangular grid layouts are covered; staggered nesting and interlocking round labels are not supported. Gripper allowance, die tolerance and trim variance are not included either, so confirm the production layout with your printer.
Frequently Asked Questions
It does unless the label is square. Both the upright and the 90-degree rotated layout are calculated and shown side by side, with the higher count called out separately.
The arithmetic allows it, but cut lines then touch and trim variance can bite into the neighboring label, so it is safer to enter the gap your printer specified.
It is the strip left outside the grid. It often holds gripper allowance or a color bar, but what belongs there depends on the press, so this tool does not decide it.
