Page formatting for a single label

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a label in SSRS 2016. These labels are on a spool of one label wide and are printed from a thermal label printer and will be printed one label at a time. Label size is 4"x5" so I've set the report properties accordingly and changed the margins to .25".

I'm designing the report and have placed all of the text boxes I think I need on the form but when I preview it there is always a second page, which is blank. So I'm guessing this means that if I were to print it I'd get my label plus a blank label, which would be wasteful. It feels like one of the elements is too big but I cannot figure out which one it would be.

I did figure out how to turn on the rulers in design mode and they show a canvas that is much smaller than 4x5 so I'm stumped.

So how can I figure out why the extra page is being created? I'm not very practiced at creating reports so if someone knows of a tutorial on how to create custom sized reports like this I'm all ears. I haven't found one in my searches yet.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @lkubler ,
‘Blank page issue’ is such a black-hole in itself that no one can ever guarantee that following some specified set of steps would save you from falling into that ditch.

But your issue can be solved,i did a test in report bulder, and by creating a new blank report ,and in the report olny a textbox .Then there is no blank page when exporting with pdf.
