How to link a custom paper format to a pdf report in Odoo 8?

Question

I want to print labels from odoo. For that I created a custom paper format and finding a way to link it to my label report. My label report is a pdf report. (When I create the report I can view it in the default paper format.)

this is the code for custom paper format

<openerp>
<data>
    <record id="mymodule_label" model="report.paperformat">
        <field name="name">Item Label</field>
        <field name="default" eval="True"/>
        <field name="format">custom</field>
        <field name="page_height">50</field>
        <field name="page_width">100</field>
        <field name="orientation">Portrait</field>
        <field name="margin_top">3</field>
        <field name="margin_bottom">3</field>
        <field name="margin_left">3</field>
        <field name="margin_right">3</field>
        <field name="header_line" eval="False"/>
        <field name="header_spacing">3</field>
        <field name="dpi">80</field>
    </record>
</data>
</openerp>

Custom paper formate for Qweb report

<report
    id="lukasz_orders_report_qweb"
    string="Drukuj Zgloszenie"
    model="lukasz.orders"
    report_type="qweb-pdf"
    name="your_module_name.lukasz_orders_report"
    file="your_module_name.lukasz_orders_report"
 />

<record id="paperformat_lowmargin" model="report.paperformat">
    <field name="name">European A4 low margin</field>
    <field name="default" eval="True" />
    <field name="format">A4</field>
    <field name="page_height">0</field>
    <field name="page_width">0</field>
    <field name="orientation">Portrait</field>
    <field name="margin_top">4</field>
    <field name="margin_bottom">4</field>
    <field name="margin_left">4</field>
    <field name="margin_right">4</field>
    <field name="header_line" eval="False" />
    <field name="header_spacing">0</field>
    <field name="dpi">90</field>
</record>

<record id="your_module_name.lukasz_orders_report_qweb" model="ir.actions.report.xml">
    <field name="paperformat_id" ref="your_module_name.paperformat_lowmargin" />
</record>

Here, I added the custom paper format to the QWeb report.
