Thank you for your suggestion. It looks good, and probably is for some labels,
but unfortunately, labels are not necessarily spread evenly on the page. Left
and right margin may differ from the gap between labels and the left margin may
differ from the right margin. I checked most of the 1750+ labels in the
LibreOffice label wizard and found out the hard way that your suggestion will
not work on all labels.
I can only advise to use a margin in the label itself (i.e. start the text a
bit left from the border). This margin will adsorb misalignment and small
differences in actual label positioning.
