One way would be to set up the barcodes to print within labels - do a quick search in this forum for 'skip label' and you'll find a number of references on how to print starting from a particular label.
In my version of RB (7.04) there is a way to configure the page as an Avery label (with a list of the most common labels). It would help to know what version of Delphi and RB you are using, and where the data is coming from (DB, JIT or ??).
One thing to note - RB (at least in 7.04) prints labels by column first (that is, left side top to bottom, then right side top to bottom).
In RB 7.04 all I have to do is drop a ppReport component on a form, open the report designer, and select . A dialog box pops up - you'll see a wizard for "Label Templates" where you can select an Avery type that best matches the size of the barcode you are trying to produce.
Here's an example if you use RAP (RB Enterprise or Server) From a posting on : Wednesday, February 22, 2006 1:36 PM Re: Skip Labels and Multiple Copies
And here's a note about it from Nico: "This example was created with the latest version of ReportBuilder... 10.0. You should just be able to ignore the unrecognized components and continue on with the example. Otherwise, you can always take a look at the rap code written and copy it to a new application in RB 9.x."
thanks very much the example is working good for , however I made a small modification to load the report dynamically so when the report is closed and reopened again the new skip,copies parameter loaded successfuly

If you need to skip labels, here's the link to what appears to be the
standard sample:
