A multi-column template matches a repeating group of separate labels on a roll. These supplies include 2-up and side-by-side labels; some groups have labels stacked vertically instead.

Common use case: small stickers (like jewelry tags or mini price labels) where you want to maximize roll usage.

Layout variations

Count the physical stickers within one repeating group. Rows run from top to bottom; columns run from left to right.

Two-row, one-column — two separate stickers stacked vertically in one group.

One-row, two-column — two separate stickers side by side in one group.

Two lines or columns of text inside a single sticker do not change its physical label layout. See Label templates to identify your paper.

Create a multi-column label template

Example: one row, two columns, each label 25 × 15 mm. The gap depends on your actual roll; it is not included in the dimensions of one sticker.
