First, are you sure you can't just get that template already in Pages format? If you go to the Avery site you can choose a template and then they have a variety of formats, including Pages. See https://www.avery.com/templates
You could always try opening it in Pages and see what you get.
Otherwise, it would be easy to make your own. Just look at the specifications for the labels and use guides in Pages to set that up. It should only take a few minutes.
Another option would be download the PDF version of the template, bring that into Pages, and then place guides over it to mimic the PDF.
Avery does not have a Pages option, only MS Word, the Adobe line, Photoshop, and Illustrator, there is a PDF selection. Their template will open in Pages but you can't move anything around. It appears that creating our own template as you suggested is the only option.
Dennis: But they do. I've used it before, and I just looked and Pages was an option again. But you have never mentioned the exact label type so I can't check that.
