Measurements from the manufacturer's layout, checked against its template drawing. The tool places the text inside each label with a safety margin, so a small printer offset does not cut it off.

What 5168 labels are for

The 5168 has 4 large labels of 3½ × 5 in, two across and two down. They are used as address labels for parcels and as big labels for boxes and bins, with room for the address in large type.

How to print 5168 labels

  1. Type or paste your addresses in the box, one per block with an empty line between them, or import a CSV or contacts file.
  2. Check that the Label sheet is set to 5168, then choose the font, size and an optional picture.
  3. Download the PDF and print the first page on plain paper at 100% (Actual size). Hold it against a 5168 sheet up to the light.
  4. If it lines up, load the label sheets and print. If not, enter the difference under Printer adjustment.

Other product numbers with the same layout

According to Avery's own compatibility list, these sheets share the 5168 layout: 8168, 27950, 95935. Check the number on your pack; if it is not listed, compare the label size and the number of labels per sheet.

Labels that line up

  • Print at 100%. In the print dialog choose Actual size, 100% or Custom 100, and turn off Fit to page or Fit to printable area. Scaling is the most common reason labels drift.
  • Test on plain paper first. Hold the test page against a label sheet in front of a window. If everything is off by the same amount, enter it under Printer adjustment.
  • Drift that grows down the page means the page was scaled or the paper fed at an angle. Check the 100% setting, and square the stack against the paper guide.
  • Load the sheet the right way up. Most printers print on the side facing down in the tray, but many rear and manual feeds print on the side facing up. Mark a plain sheet with an X to find out.
  • Use the right labels for your printer: labels for laser printers can smudge in an inkjet printer and the other way round. The pack says which printers it is made for.

Questions

Which way does the text go?

Across the 3½ in width, like a postcard standing upright. Each label is 3½ in wide and 5 in tall on the sheet.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit. The site is paid for by ads.

Do I need Microsoft Word?

No. The labels are made in your browser and downloaded as a PDF that any computer or phone can print.

Are my addresses uploaded?

No. The addresses you type, paste or import are read by your own browser and the PDF is created on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
