Avery Label Sizes Chart & Free Templates Guide (5160, 8160, 5163)

Avery template numbers are not just product names. For printing, the important pieces are the paper size, label width and height, columns, rows, margins, and pitch between labels. This Avery label sizes chart helps you match the package number in your hand to the template you should print.

That is why two Avery numbers can sometimes use the same printable layout even when the package is marketed for different printers, materials, or use cases. For example, Avery 5160, 5260, 8160, and 8460 all use the same 30-up US Letter address-label geometry in Avery's compatibility data and in the public template data used by SheetsToLabels.

If you already know the exact stock number, start with the matching template page:

• Avery 5160 Template for 30-up US Letter address labels.
• Avery 5163 Template for 10-up US Letter shipping, barcode, and product labels.
• Avery 5167 Template for 80-up return address and small ID labels.
• Avery 5195 Template for round label sheets.
• Avery 7160 Template for common A4 address-label sheets.

If your label data is in a spreadsheet, use Address Label Maker for mailing addresses, Amazon FBA Labels for FNSKU and product-label batches, Bulk Barcode Generator for SKUs and QR codes, or Label Designer for mixed label layouts.

For schools, PTAs, libraries, and offices that need a repeatable print-room checklist, use the Avery 5160 Printing Guide for Schools and Organizations.

Quick Answers

• Avery 5160, 8160, 5260, and 8460 use the common 30-up US Letter address-label layout: 2.625 x 1 inch labels in 3 columns x 10 rows.
• Avery 5163 and 8163 use the common 10-up US Letter shipping and product-label layout: 4 x 2 inch labels in 2 columns x 5 rows.
• Avery 5167 is the small 80-up return-address layout: 1.75 x 0.5 inch labels in 4 columns x 20 rows.
• Avery 7160, 7162, 7163, and 7169 are A4 families. Do not scale a US Letter template onto A4 label stock.
• For printing from a spreadsheet, start with Excel to Labels, Google Sheets to Labels, or the exact Avery template page for your stock number.
• Before printing on label stock, print one plain-paper test at 100% / Actual Size.

Match Your Label Package

If you have the label package in front of you, match the printed product number first. Then check the label size, sheet size, and labels per sheet before loading label stock into the printer.

Quick Size Comparison

These are common Avery-compatible layouts generated from public gLabels Avery template data. Always verify the package number against Avery's official page before printing on label stock.

Popular Package Codes

If you are holding a package and just need to identify the right layout, start here. Match the code and paper size first, then check the physical label dimensions before printing.

If your exact package number is not listed, choose a layout with the same paper size, label dimensions, rows, columns, margins, and gaps. Print one plain-paper test at 100% / Actual Size before loading label stock.

Third-Party Label Equivalents

Many office-supply labels use the same sheet layout as an Avery template, even when the brand on the package is different.

For Grand & Toy 99180, the important clues are 2-5/8 x 1 inch and 30 labels per sheet. That matches the Avery 5160-style address-label geometry, so start with the Avery 5160 Template and run a plain-paper test before printing on the actual sheet.

For Niceday, Banner, Universal, Staples, Office Depot, or other store-brand labels, do not choose a template from the brand name alone. Match the physical sheet:

• paper size: US Letter or A4
• label dimensions
• labels per sheet
• rows and columns
• left, top, right, and bottom margins
• horizontal and vertical gaps between labels

If all of those match, the Avery-compatible template should print in the same positions. If the margins or gaps differ, create a custom layout instead of forcing a popular Avery preset.

What Compatibility Means

Compatibility means the template uses the same printable geometry: same paper size, label dimensions, columns, rows, margins, and spacing.

It does not always mean the packages are identical. Avery may sell the same layout as laser stock, inkjet stock, removable labels, clear labels, weatherproof labels, or specialty material. The PDF layout can match while the material and printer settings differ.

Use this rule:

• If the package number appears in the same compatibility family, the sheet geometry should match.
• If the paper size differs, such as US Letter vs A4, choose the exact paper family.
• If the material differs, keep the layout but change printer media settings when needed.
• If you are using full-color backgrounds, leave safe margins and test on plain paper first.

The official Avery template pages are still the best stock verification source. Use Avery's 5160 template page or Avery's full template category when you need Avery-provided Word, PDF, or Design & Print files.

Common US Letter Families

Avery 5160 Family

The Avery 5160 family is the classic 30-up address-label format on US Letter paper. It uses 3 columns x 10 rows, with each label measuring 2.625 x 1 inch.

Common compatible numbers include Avery 5260, 5960, 8160, 8460, and other 30-up address-label variants in the same public template family.

Use it for:

• address labels from Excel or Google Sheets
• invitation envelope labels
• customer mailing lists
• lightweight barcode or QR labels with short text

For a dedicated mailing workflow, read Avery 5160 Address Labels from Excel or Google Sheets.

Avery 5163 Family

The Avery 5163 family uses 2 columns x 5 rows on US Letter paper. Each label is 4 x 2 inches, which gives more room for barcodes, QR codes, product names, shipping information, or asset fields.

Common compatible numbers include Avery 5263, 5513, 5523, 5795, 5923, 5963, 8163, 8253, 8463, and 8663.

Use it for:

• shipping-style labels
• warehouse bin labels
• Amazon FBA FNSKU item labels
• product labels with SKU, price, and barcode
• QR labels that need a readable caption

Start with Avery 5163 Template if your job is barcode-heavy. If the spreadsheet contains FNSKU, SKU, ASIN, condition, or Amazon prep-center rows, use Amazon FBA Labels so the label size, quantity handling, and FNSKU fields match the Amazon job.

Avery 5167 Family

The Avery 5167 template is a compact 80-up layout. Each label is 1.75 x 0.5 inches, so it is best for short, dense content.

Use it for:

• return address labels
• small asset IDs
• compact product stickers
• simple serial-number labels

For long addresses, QR codes, or large barcodes, choose a larger label such as Avery 5160 or Avery 5163.

Common A4 Families

Avery 7160, 7162, 7163, and 7169 are common A4 layouts. Do not mix these with US Letter templates unless your printer and label stock are actually A4.

The most common A4 choices are:

• Avery 7160 Template: 21 labels per A4 sheet, useful for address labels.
• Avery 7162 Template: 16 labels per A4 sheet, useful for larger address and product labels.
• Avery 7163 Template: 14 labels per A4 sheet, useful for barcode, shipping, and product labels.
• Avery 7169 Template: 4 large labels per A4 sheet, useful for parcels, folders, and large signs.

If your package number starts with L, such as Avery L7160, use the L-number page when available. That keeps the page label aligned with the package in your hand while sharing the same printable geometry as the corresponding 7160-family sheet.

Choose by Use Case

For mailing addresses, choose Avery 5160 on US Letter or Avery 7160 on A4. These are efficient when each spreadsheet row is a recipient.

For shipping labels, choose Avery 5163, Avery 5164, Avery 7163, or Avery 7169, depending on how much text and barcode space you need.

For barcode and QR labels, choose a size that keeps the code scannable after printing. Avery 5163 is usually safer than a small return-address label if you need product names, SKUs, quantities, or scan instructions.

For Amazon FBA item labels, use Amazon FBA Labels when the rows contain FNSKU, seller SKU, ASIN, title, condition, quantity, expiry date, or prep-center fields. Avery 5163-style sheets can work for larger item labels, while thermal roll sizes are often better for repeated FNSKU batches.

For return address labels, choose Avery 5167 when the content is short. If you need logos or multiple lines, use Avery 5160 instead.

For round stickers, use Avery 5195 Template. SheetsToLabels uses the printable bounding box for placement, so keep important artwork centered and away from the circular cut edge.

Spreadsheet-to-Label Workflow

Most Avery template jobs eventually become a spreadsheet workflow:

1. Put one label record per row.
2. Use clear headers such as name, address, sku, barcode, qr_url, price, or quantity.
3. Open the matching Avery-compatible template page.
4. Import Excel, CSV, pasted rows, or Google Sheets data.
5. Map spreadsheet columns to text, barcode, QR, or image fields.
6. Preview the full sheet.
7. Export the PDF and print at 100% / Actual Size.

Use Excel to Labels for local workbooks, CSV to Labels for simple file exports, and Google Sheets to Labels when the source list changes often.

Printing and Alignment Checklist

The most common Avery printing issue is not the template number. It is print scaling.

Before printing on label stock:

• Set the PDF viewer to 100%, Actual Size, or an equivalent no-scaling option.
• Turn off Fit to Page, Shrink to Fit, and browser auto-scaling.
• Confirm the paper size is US Letter or A4, matching the template.
• Print one test page on plain paper.
• Hold the test page behind the label sheet and check the first, middle, and last rows.
• If the sheet drifts gradually, check paper size, scaling, and printer feed settings.

Yes, they share the same 10-up US Letter geometry in this template family: 2 columns x 5 rows, with 4 x 2 inch labels. Use Avery 5163 Template or Avery 8163 Template depending on the package number you want to target.

What Avery label size is best for address labels?

For US Letter sheets, Avery 5160 is the common 30-up address-label choice. For A4 sheets, Avery 7160 is a common address-label format.

What Avery label size is best for barcode labels?

Use a larger label if the barcode must scan reliably. Avery 5163 is often a better barcode and product-label choice than Avery 5160 because it gives more vertical space for the code, text, and human-readable SKU.

Can I use Google Sheets data with Avery templates?

Yes. Use a shared Google Sheet link, CSV export, or XLSX file, then map each sheet column into the label design. Start with Google Sheets to Labels or open a specific Avery template page such as Avery 5160 Template.

Should I use Avery's official website or SheetsToLabels?

Use Avery's official website when you need Avery's own Word, PDF, or Design & Print template files. Use SheetsToLabels when your real job starts from Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets and you want to generate batches of labels with text, barcodes, QR codes, images, and quantities.

Is SheetsToLabels affiliated with Avery?

No. Avery is a trademark of its owner. SheetsToLabels is independent and provides Avery-compatible layouts so spreadsheet rows can be exported to print-ready PDFs.
