Avery® label sizes: a dimensions chart for common templates

A quick reference for the most common Avery label numbers: exact label size, sheet layout, labels per sheet, and which template numbers are interchangeable. All dimensions are for US Letter (8.5 x 11 inch) sheets.

Common Avery label sizes

These are the formats people look up most often. The layouts below match the templates our free label maker reproduces, so the on-screen sheet lines up with the physical label stock.

Sizes are nominal label dimensions as printed by Avery and store-brand equivalents. Always check your package before printing a full batch.

Exact template geometry (millimeters)

The chart above gives nominal label sizes. The table below is the precise die-cut geometry our label maker registers to. Use it when you need exact alignment values rather than rounded inches. All values are for a US Letter sheet (215.9 x 279.4 mm) in portrait.

• Top / left margin is the distance from the top and left sheet edges to the first label's top-left corner.
• Pitch is the step from one label's top-left corner to the next: column pitch across, row pitch down. The gap between labels equals pitch minus label size (for example, Avery 5160 has a 3.2 mm horizontal gap and 0 mm vertical gap, so rows touch).
• Corner radius is the rounding of each rectangular die; round labels list their radius and a circle shape.

Geometry used directly by the label maker so the on-screen sheet registers to the physical stock. Printer feed tolerance can still shift output by a fraction of a millimeter; run a plain-paper test first.

Which Avery numbers are the same size?

Avery sells the same physical layout under several numbers. The difference is usually box quantity, color, or whether the stock is tuned for laser or inkjet printers, not the label dimensions:

• 30-up address (1 x 2 5/8 in): 5160, 5260, 5660, 5960, 8160, 8460, 18160 and most store-brand 30-up address sheets.
• 20-up address (1 x 4 in): 5161, 5261, 5961, 8161, 8461, 18161.
• 14-up address (1 1/3 x 4 in): 5162, 5262, 8162, 8462, 15162, 18162.
• 10-up shipping (2 x 4 in): 5163, 5263, 5663, 5963, 8163, 18163.
• 6-up shipping (3 1/3 x 4 in): 5164, 5264, 8164, 8464, 6464.
• Full sheet (8 1/2 x 11 in): 5165, 5265, 8165, 8465, 18665.
• 80-up return address (1/2 x 1 3/4 in): 5167, 5267, 5667, 8167, 18167.
• 60-up return address (2/3 x 1 3/4 in): 5195, 5295, 8195.
• 30-up file folder (2/3 x 3 7/16 in): 5366, 5266, 5666, 5966, 8366.

If a sheet has the same labels-per-sheet count, column and row layout, and label dimensions on US Letter, the layout should line up. Printer feed tolerances can still cause small shifts, so run a test print first.

Laser vs inkjet template numbers

For many Avery families, the lower number is the laser product and a sibling number is the inkjet version, but the layout is identical:

The number does not change how you lay out the sheet. It tells you which coating to buy for your printer: use inkjet stock in an inkjet printer and laser stock in a laser printer to avoid smearing or flaking.

How to print these at the right size

1. Open the matching template. Starting from the Avery 5160, 5163, or 5167 page presets the grid for you.
2. Add your text or import a CSV. Address sheets accept a clean name, street, city, state, ZIP column structure.
3. Preview the whole sheet. Confirm long lines fit each label before printing.
4. Print at 100% scale on US Letter. Turn off "fit to page," headers, and footers, which are the usual cause of misalignment.
5. Run a plain-paper test. Hold the printed test behind the real label sheet against a light and check every corner before using label stock.

Frequently asked questions

What size is an Avery 5160 label?

Avery 5160 labels are 1 inch by 2 5/8 inches, laid out 3 columns by 10 rows for 30 labels on a US Letter sheet.

Are Avery 5160, 5260, and 8160 the same size?

Yes. All three use the same 30-up address-label layout of 1 by 2 5/8 inch labels, 3 columns by 10 rows. The numbers mainly indicate box quantity and whether the stock is for laser or inkjet printers.

What size is an Avery 5167 label?

Avery 5167 labels are 1/2 inch by 1 3/4 inches, laid out 4 columns by 20 rows for 80 return-address labels per US Letter sheet. Avery 5267 shares the same layout.

What size is an Avery 5163 label?

Avery 5163 labels are 2 inches by 4 inches, laid out 2 columns by 5 rows for 10 shipping labels per US Letter sheet.

Can I use a store-brand sheet with an Avery template?

Usually yes, as long as the package lists the same labels per sheet, layout, and label dimensions on US Letter. Many store brands print an Avery cross-reference number on the box. Always confirm with a plain-paper test before printing a full batch.

What are the exact dimensions of Avery 5160 in millimeters?

Each Avery 5160 label is 66.7 x 25.4 mm (2.625 x 1 in). On a US Letter sheet they sit 3 columns by 10 rows, with the first label's top-left corner 12.7 mm from the top edge and 4.8 mm from the left edge. The pitch is 69.8 mm across and 25.4 mm down, leaving a 3.2 mm horizontal gap between columns and no vertical gap, and each corner has a 1.6 mm radius.

What is the margin and pitch for Avery 5167?

Avery 5167 (80-up return address) labels are 44.4 x 12.7 mm (1.75 x 0.5 in). The first label's top-left corner is 12.7 mm from the top and 7.1 mm from the left of a US Letter sheet. Column pitch is 52.4 mm and row pitch is 12.7 mm, so the rows touch and columns leave a 7.9 mm gap.
