Which Label Template Do I Need? Identify Your Label Sheet

Using the right template is the single most important step for labels that line up. Here’s how to find it.

1. Look for the product number

The number is printed on the box or pack and often on the sheet’s edge or backing paper: 5160, 8160, L7160, 3474, 72212, A4256… Type it into the sheet search of the label maker or browse the template list.

Many manufacturers sell the same layout under several numbers (different paper, colours or pack sizes). LabelSheet lists these compatible codes with each template — for example Avery® 5160, 8160, 5260 and 18160 share one layout.

2. Search by labels per sheet and size

No number? Count the labels and measure one of them:

• Labels per sheet: e.g. 30 (3 × 10).
• Label size: width × height in mm or inches.
• Page: Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Type the count or size into the sheet search (“30”, “63.5”) and compare the candidates.

3. Measure the layout precisely

If several sheets match, measure these four values on the sheet (a steel ruler helps):

1. Top margin — top edge of the paper to the top edge of the first label.
2. Side margin — left edge of the paper to the left edge of the first label.
3. Horizontal pitch — left edge of one label to the left edge of the next one to the right.
4. Vertical pitch — top edge of one label to the top edge of the one below.

Compare them with the specification table on each template page. Measuring the pitch across several labels (for example 3 rows, then divide by 3) gives a more accurate result.

4. Still no match? Create a custom sheet

With Pro you can enter those measurements as a custom sheet and reuse it. Or send us the product number at support@labelsheet.app — we add sheets whose specifications the manufacturer publishes.

Round and oval labels

For round labels, measure the diameter and the distance between centres of neighbouring circles (that’s the pitch). The designer clips your design to the circle so you see exactly what will be printed.
