What size is Avery 5161?

Avery 5161 is a 1" x 4" label layout with 20 labels per US Letter sheet, arranged 2 columns by 10 rows. The wide format suits long mailing addresses, file box labels, and shelf labels.

What is the difference between Avery 5161 and 5160?

Both are address labels, but 5161 labels are 4" wide (20 per sheet) while 5160 labels are 2 5/8" wide (30 per sheet). Choose 5161 when addresses or names run long.

Can I import addresses from CSV?

Yes. Use Import CSV to map name, street, city, state, ZIP, and country columns. Each row becomes one multi-line label.

Can I repeat one label 20 times?

Yes. Type one label and use Tile / repeat, or edit one cell and choose Duplicate this cell to all cells.

How do I print accurately?

Set browser print scale to 100%, disable headers and footers, and test on plain paper before loading label sheets.

Can I use Avery 8161 or compatible brands?

Yes. Avery 8161 is the inkjet version of the same 20-up die-cut, and most 1" x 4" 20-up sheets match this geometry. Test on plain paper if you are using a generic sheet.

Can I add logos or icons?

Yes. Use Image+Text mode for labels with a logo, or Text mode for plain address and shipping labels.

Can I print only part of a sheet?

Yes. Use per-cell editing to blank out already-used positions before printing a partial sheet.

What font works best?

A clear sans-serif font is easiest to read. Use bold for names or company lines and Auto-fit for longer addresses.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Text and CSV content stay in the browser. The page is static and does not store label data.

Where exactly do the labels sit on an Avery 5161 sheet?

The first label starts 0.15625" from the left edge and 0.5" from the top. Columns repeat every 4.1875" with a 3/16" gutter between them, and rows repeat every 1" with no vertical gap. This page reproduces those exact coordinates instead of dividing the sheet evenly, which is what keeps the last row from drifting off its die-cut.

What if my printer prints slightly off-center?

Most printers feed paper a fraction of a millimeter off, and on label stock that shows. Use the Printer alignment panel to print a test sheet, hold it against a label sheet in front of a light, and nudge the layout in 0.25mm steps. The setting is saved for next time.

Should I buy laser or inkjet sheets?

Match the box to your printer: 5161 is laser-rated stock and 8161 is the same die-cut coated for inkjet ink. Laser toner resists moisture and handling; inkjet renders color more richly. Running the wrong stock through a printer risks smearing (inkjet stock in a laser) or soft, fuzzy text (laser stock in an inkjet).

Why does my sheet print crooked?

Usually feeding, not software. Feed label sheets one at a time from the manual or bypass tray if you have one, never run a sheet through twice, and store unused sheets flat in the packaging - humidity curls label stock, and a curled sheet feeds crooked.

What are Avery 5161 labels used for?

The 4" width fits long street addresses, hyphenated names, and company lines on one line, so 5161 is a workhorse for business mailings, invoices, and catalogs. Off the envelope, the 1" x 4" shape suits file box edges, shelf and bin labels, binder spines, and barcode labels.

What font size fits this label?

A 14 to 16 point font sits comfortably on a 1" x 4" label, with room to bold the name line. Auto-fit handles it for you - it shrinks each label's text just enough to fit - but if you set a fixed size, print one plain-paper proof first and read it at arm's length.

Do I need Word or the Avery software?

No. This template runs entirely in the browser - nothing to install, no account, no plug-in. It replaces the Word template workflow: the 5161 grid is already measured and locked, you just add content and print. It works the same on Windows, Mac, Chromebooks, and Linux.

Can I save my layout and come back later?

Yes. Use Save to store the layout in your browser and Load to bring it back, or click Share this tool to copy a link that encodes your current layout. Returning visitors are also offered a restore of their last session automatically.
