Example
Example: jam labels for a school fair — three flavours, seven of each, one sheet
Home-made jam for a school fair: three flavours, seven jars each, so exactly one A4 sheet of 21 labels at 63.5 × 38.1 mm. Each label has two lines, so a blank line goes between flavours: Strawberry Jam / Made July 2026, blank, Gooseberry Jam / Made July 2026, blank, Rhubarb & Ginger / Made July 2026.
- Copies of each label: 7. Text position: Centred; Emphasis: First line larger, so the flavour stands out above the date.
- The labels fill left to right and top to bottom: Strawberry takes labels 1–7, Gooseberry 8–14 and Rhubarb & Ginger 15–21, all on one page.
- Without the blank lines the six lines would be six one-line labels: the blank line is what keeps a flavour and its date together.
- On a sheet whose first nine labels are gone, set First label to use on the sheet to 10: page 1 then holds 12 labels (7 Strawberry, 5 Gooseberry) and page 2 the other 9.
| Setting | Value | On the sheet |
|---|---|---|
| What the labels say | 3 labels of 2 lines, a blank line between them | Strawberry Jam / Made July 2026, and so on |
| Copies of each label | 7 | 21 labels, 1 page |
| First label to use on the sheet | 10 | 2 pages: 12 + 9 labels |
| Text for the raffle table | Raffle prize {n} | one line, numbered |
| Copies of each label / Start numbering at | 21 / 1 | Raffle prize 1 to Raffle prize 21 |
labels.pdf, with labels for all 21 jars from one sheet. Print a test on plain paper first and hold it against the label sheet up to the light; if it sits a millimetre or two out, Nudge right or Nudge down puts it back.
How it works
- Type or paste the lines, one label per line. If labels run over several lines, leave a blank line between them. On a part-used sheet, set “First label to use on the sheet” to the first free label.
- Choose whether the text sits left or centred, and whether the first or last line stands out.
- Print one copy on plain paper first and hold it against the packet up to the light. Printers shift a page by a millimetre or two and it is cheaper to find out on paper.
- Load the labels and print. Turn off any "fit to page" or "shrink oversized" setting, which is what moves a correct template off register.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it line up with my labels?
- It should. The layout is 21 labels of 63.5 × 38.1 mm, 3 across and 7 down, centred on A4 — which reproduces the published measurements of the sheets in the shops to a tenth of a millimetre. But packets vary between makers even at the same count, so print one on plain paper and hold it against the sheet before you commit a real one.
- It is a millimetre out. Can I nudge it?
- Yes. The generator takes an offset in millimetres, so a printer that pulls the page down slightly can be corrected once and then forgotten. Nudge rather than switch templates: being consistently out by the same small amount is a printer, not a wrong layout.
- My packet says a different size at the same count.
- Then use the custom layout: measure one label and the gap between two, put those numbers in, and the sheet is built to what you actually have. That is the honest route — a template that nearly fits wastes the whole sheet, not one label.
- Can I start half way down a used sheet?
- Yes. Set “First label to use on the sheet” to the number of the first label still there, counting left to right and top to bottom — if the first ten are gone, 11. Blank lines in the text don’t skip labels; they only separate labels that run over several lines.
- Can I number the labels?
- Yes. Put {n} in the text and set Start numbering at: each label takes the next number, copies included. Raffle prize {n} with 21 copies and numbering from 1 fills a sheet with Raffle prize 1 to Raffle prize 21; start at 22 for the second sheet.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The PDF is drawn in your browser and the addresses never leave your device, which is the part that matters when the lines are people’s home addresses.
