Trying to get a template to work for the Avery 11137 label template and it is exceedingly harder than one would think because the geniuses over at Avery put it on an 8.5×7 page and, although it is not impossible to print on 8.5×7 paper, it is the closest thing to impossible without trying to question relativistic physics.
So what I want to do instead is print as if it was 8.5×11 and laugh as the printer gets 7 inches in and realizes there are 4 inches missing =D
My initial thought was to use tables like so, generate the output to make sure it works, then remove the borders. But I have to make sure it fits the following margins:
- 1 inch from top
- 0.75 inches from right
- 0.75 inches from left
- Row width of 3.5 inches
- Tow height of 0.5 inches
Minimal working example:
EDIT I included p{3in}
to control the width of the columns
\documentclass{report}
\newcommand{\labelA}{Mastercard}
\newcommand{\labelB}{Visa}
\newcommand{\labelC}{AMEX}
\newcommand{\labelD}{}
\newcommand{\labelE}{}
\newcommand{\labelF}{}
\newcommand{\labelG}{}
\newcommand{\labelH}{}
\newcommand{\labelI}{}
\newcommand{\labelJ}{}
\newcommand{\labelK}{}
\newcommand{\labelL}{}
\newcommand{\labelM}{}
\newcommand{\labelN}{}
\newcommand{\labelO}{}
\newcommand{\labelP}{}
\newcommand{\labelQ}{}
\newcommand{\labelR}{}
\newcommand{\labelS}{}
\newcommand{\labelT}{}
\newcommand{\labelU}{}
\newcommand{\labelV}{}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ |p{3in}| p{3in}| }
\hline
\labelA & \labelB \\
\hline
\labelC & \labelD \\
\hline
\labelE & \labelF \\
\hline
\labelG & \labelH \\
\hline
\labelI & \labelJ \\
\hline
\labelK & \labelL \\
\hline
\labelM & \labelN \\
\hline
\labelO & \labelP \\
\hline
\labelQ & \labelR \\
\hline
\labelS & \labelT \\
\hline
\labelU & \labelV \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

How do I achieve this with tables? Is there an easier way?

I cannot tell if this is quite right without printing and I don't have any letter size paper. However, something like this:
