How to Print on Labels

Before you choose your labels, please consider the type of printer you are using. As a rule of thumb, Laser printers, as well as toner based photocopiers are suitable for all label types. Most people at home however may use an Inkjet printer. Inkjet printers are not suitable for our Gloss, Metallics or Fluorescent labels.

Within Microsoft® Word, there is a simple label program which helps you position the print.

To find this, go to: Tools > Letters and Mailings. Then under options, you can select the label layout if you know the Avery® code. We highlight these codes in the table below and in all our product descriptions.

However, to make things easier, at www.a4labels.com we have produced the table below where you can simply download a .doc or .pdf file to assist you to print on labels.

Design & Print Tips

  • Laser and Inkjet printer have an accuracy of +/- 1mm, so make sure you leave a good margin around your design or text to allow for this.
  • If the print does not line up perfectly, adjust the page margins. This can be done in the 'Page Settings' section under the 'File' tab.
  • Water in the label adhesive can evaporate when used in hot printers, so we don't suggest printing the same sheet more than once.
  • Do not put a sheet of labels through the printer with some labels missing. This can cause jams.
  • Always feed your labels in Portrait (narrow edge) as this is the direction of the grain (like wood) and ensures the strength of the label is retained.
