For my Machin collection, I have been thinking about how to optimize Vario pages since at any point I may want to add something and not need to redo pages and I do not want a lot of pages to reduce the impact of adding one.
Here is one dealer's example of a presentation. One idea is to use 8 pocket Vario pages and use one row for labels and the other row for the stamps. Ideally, the label would be reverse printed (for white text). My current sorting method is a 5 row with a label behind the stamp which happens to prevent the stamp from moving around as much.
The dealer example is in a stock book using alternating rows. In this example, the presentation is too dense.

This is a really attractive presentation to me but, you are right, there is just too much here.

I like this quite a lot. The dealer has the complete classification system within the labels, so nothing is left to chance. If, like @darkomex suggested, you want to declutter things, you could leave off some of the information and print a black bar at the bottom of the label, 'lifting' the text toward the stamps a bit. But it depends how deep you go. I could do without the perf row and the colour strip, and possibly the printer too. And I'd remove 'issd' before each date (readers would figure it out eventually!) But that's just me.  |

Seeing that the sheet is from a dealer, one would expect as much info as possible. Of course a collector doesn't need that much. But I find it a pleasing layout.
