Method

How to use this tool

  1. 01

    Enter sheet, label, margin, and gap dimensions.

  2. 02

    Calculate the maximum regular grid.

  3. 03

    Use the reported trailing clearance to center or position the grid in artwork.

Assumptions

What the math assumes

  • Labels are axis-aligned in one regular grid.
  • Margins are equal on opposite sides.
  • Gap is clear distance between label edges.

Production limits

Verify before output

  • Does not optimize mixed rotations, staggered shapes, or circular nesting.
  • Dieline, matrix stripping, cutter tolerances, and registration marks may require more space.

Desk reference

Frequently asked questions

Can labels rotate automatically?

This calculator keeps all labels in one orientation. Swap width and height to compare a rotated layout.

Are the outside margins included in the gaps?

No. Margins reserve the sheet edges; gaps apply only between labels.
