Label Maker

Static label PDFs give you someone else's words (54 labels, half of them useless). This maker takes your words, your label size and your sheet size, works out the real grid geometry, and lays out a print-ready sheet you can print at home — pantry, bins, boxes, files, anything.

Use the Label Maker

Built-in module

Label Count & Size Calculator — the geometry summary above the sheet is the module: labels per sheet and sheets needed, before you print.

How it works

The layout engine starts from the true sheet size (US Letter 215.9 × 279.4 mm, A4 210 × 297 mm), subtracts your margins, and divides the remaining area by label size plus gap, rounding down. It reports exactly how many labels fit per sheet and how many sheets your list needs before you print.

How to use it

  1. Type your labels, one per line — add a second copy of a word if you need it twice.
  2. Choose the sheet you actually print on and the label size you want.
  3. Check the geometry summary, then use Print my label sheet.
  4. Cut along the guides. For pantry jars, print on sticker paper or use a laminator pouch behind the label.

Frequently asked questions

What label size works for pantry jars and bins?

63 × 25 mm (the default) reads well on jars and small bins. For storage boxes use 90 × 38 mm or larger — box labels are read from a metre away, not at arm's length.

My printer adds its own margins. Will the sheet still fit?

The default 10 mm margin is inside almost every home printer's printable area. If your printer clips edges, raise the margin to 13 mm and re-check the count — the geometry updates honestly.

Can I print in black only?

Yes — the sheet is designed to survive a black-only home printer: labels are outlined boxes with text, no colour fills.
