Avery 5164 moving labels: the practical starter format.
Avery 5164-style sheets are a sane default for moving boxes: big enough to read, small enough to print six labels per page.
Why 5164 works
The 3-1/3 by 4 inch layout gives you room for destination, box number, contents, and handling flags without making the label microscopic.
Print settings
- Use Actual Size or 100% scaling.
- Do not use Fit to Page.
- Test on plain paper first.
- Use label/heavyweight paper settings if your printer exposes them.
Plain paper still works
If label stock is not available, print on plain paper, cut, and tape. Ugly and effective beats pretty and nonexistent.
