What size is Avery 8161?

Avery 8161 is a 1" x 4" inkjet label layout with 20 labels per US Letter sheet, arranged 2 columns by 10 rows.

What is the difference between Avery 8161 and 5161?

They share the same 20-up die-cut layout. 5161 sheets are optimized for laser printers and 8161 for inkjet printers. Templates are interchangeable.

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 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 8161 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, and rows repeat every 1" with no vertical gap - identical to laser-rated 5161. 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.

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 8161 labels used for?

Business and holiday mailings with long addresses, file box and binder spine labels, shelf and bin labels, and inventory tags. Inkjet stock takes color nicely, so a colored name line or a small logo via Image+Text mode looks richer than it would from a mono laser.

Any inkjet-specific printing tips?

Give printed sheets a minute to dry before stacking - coated label stock holds ink on the surface longer than plain paper. If your printer has a "labels" or "heavy paper" media setting, use it: the slower feed noticeably sharpens small text.

What font size fits this label?

A 14 to 16 point font sits comfortably on a 1" x 4" label. 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 8161 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.

Is this really free?

Yes - no watermark, no trial, no signup. The site is supported by optional affiliate links to printing supplies, so the template tool itself stays free.
