If it's possible to do your templates as an LibreOffice Drawing give
that a try.  I think that having a non-printing layer might be exactly
what you are looking for.

Here's an example of what I mean from my cd template that I made a long
time ago for ooextras:
http://www.smalldataproblem.org/ooextras/alldownloads/cd_label_template.sxd

If you print the document it will come out blank, but as you can see
there are all sorts of things on the page to tell you that to do and
help line things up.

If you go to File -> New -> Templates the window that pops up looks the 
same as one the for saving the templates, but it will allow you to move 
and delete templates as well as create directories.

That being said the templates are saved in 
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/template  If it's not there look at Tools 
-> LibreOffice -> Paths and it will tell you where your templates are 
being loaded and saved (caution, there are multiple paths on the line, 
and you can add more)

Once you have the correct path, just move the files around using your 
favorite file manager.
