Template Numbers Matter

Avery-style label sheets look similar but differ in dimensions, margins, rows, and columns. Using the wrong template can waste an entire sheet even when the address text is perfect.

Do A Plain Paper Test First

Before printing on label stock, print a test on plain paper and hold it against the sheet. This catches margin issues without wasting adhesive labels.

Keep Decorative Elements Inside The Safe Area

Stickers, icons, and large fonts can drift too close to the label edge. Leave room for printer variation and trimming tolerance.

Save The Working Setup

Once alignment works, keep the template and spacing settings for the next mailing session.
