Free Template for Avery® 5162 Address Labels

The 1⅓ × 4 inch address label

Avery® 5162 Address Labels are the wide member of the address label family: fourteen labels of 1⅓ × 4 inches on a US Letter page, in two columns of seven. The extra width is the point of the sheet. A business address with a company name, an attention line and a long street fits on one label without shrinking, and so does a full international address with the country on its own line. Office supply stores sell the same layout as 14-up address labels, and this template prints on any of them.

The labels suit the large white envelopes used for documents and catalogues, letters to companies, and mailings where the address has five or six lines, and they make tidy labels for binders, boxes and shelves as well.

Printing a mailing list

The page starts with a list, since most sheets carry a different address on every label. Paste the addresses with an empty line between them, paste rows straight from a spreadsheet, or upload an Excel or CSV file; a header row such as Name, Company, Address, City, State and ZIP lets the columns be recognised by name, and each row becomes one label with its lines in the right order. Up to six lines fit, and the text is as large as each label allows, so even a long international address stays easy to read. For one address on every label, use the other tab.

Long, business and international addresses

Business mail is where the width of these labels pays off. An address to a company usually has the person's name, the company, sometimes a department or an attention line, the street and the town line, five lines that would have to be set very small on a one-inch label. On a 1⅓ × 4 inch label they stay at a comfortable size, and a long company name or street fits on a single line instead of being cut.

Mail to another country needs the country on the last line of the address. The US Postal Service asks for the country name in capital letters and in English, for example CANADA or GERMANY, on a line of its own, below the town and postal code written the way that country writes them. Put the lines in the spreadsheet or the box exactly as they should appear, and the generator keeps that order. On a label this wide even six lines and a long postal code fit without making the text hard to read.

Printing the sheet

Print the PDF at actual size, choosing Actual size or 100% rather than Fit to page in the print dialog, and test the first page on plain paper held against a label sheet in front of a light. Use the laser or inkjet version of the sheet to suit your printer. On a sheet you have used before, set Start at label to the first label that is still there. For a logo, a different font or a barcode on each label, choose Edit in the label editor, where the same sheet opens with your list, one label per address.
