How many labels are on a sheet, and how many sheets does your list need?

You have a list and a box of labels, and one question before anything else: will it be enough? The answer takes two steps. First, how many labels are on one sheet. Second, how many rows are on your list.

#Step 1: read the code

The number of labels per sheet is set by the layout, and the layout is named by the code on the box. A code like 5160 is a small address label laid out in columns and rows. A code like 5163 is a larger shipping label. The same code often has cousins sold under other numbers, such as 8160, and they share the layout.

Count the columns across and the rows down on the sheet, then multiply. You can also type the code into Peelstack Label Maker and read the sheet picture, which states the labels across, the labels down and the label size. For A4 sheets, codes like L7160 and L7163 are handled the same way.

If you only have a sheet and no box, measure one label with a ruler. The label sheet finder on taskivator.com helps you match the size to a code.

#Step 2: count your rows

In Google Sheets™ the row count is at the bottom of the list. Remove the header row and any blank rows. If you want two copies of each address, double it. If you use one label per household, your list may be shorter than the number of people.

#Step 3: divide and round up

Divide the number of labels you need by the number of labels on a sheet and round up to the next whole sheet. A list that needs a little more than three sheets needs four. Buy one spare for the test print and for mistakes.

#Using a partly used sheet

If a sheet is already started, click the first empty label in the preview and printing begins there. That saves the labels you have left from going to waste.

#Check before you buy

Open the add-on and type the code before you order. The preview shows how your own rows fall across the sheets, so you can see the last sheet and how full it is. The free test page lets you try the alignment on plain paper first.

#The takeaway

The code names the layout, the layout sets the labels per sheet, and your list sets the rest. Read the code, count the rows, divide, round up and add a spare.
