I don't have the exact reference of the labels we used, but we were in a
similar situation.

I've recently upgraded this generator to allow people to input a
positive or negative offset on the X and Y axis, to workaround the fact
that not all printers are created equal : special marks are now included
in the bottom left with their expected size printed, so you just have to
print one sheet (not necessarily real labels, a normal blank sheet is OK
provided it's in the Letter format, the format used by all supported
templates), then measure between the left (or bottom) of the page and the
mark, and adjust the offsets accordingly in the web form.
