No labels yet

Add a label to preview the print sheet. Or load a sample set if you want to kick the tires.

CSV note: CSV exports include all labels, even ones excluded from print. Re-import the CSV later to recover your full set. Do not put sensitive household details in visible label summaries if boxes may be handled by strangers.

Autosave lives in this browser. CSV is your portable backup.

  • Test on plain paper first before using label stock.
  • If your printer has a Labels / Heavyweight paper option, enable it.
  • Do not use Fit to Page for Avery sheets — it will misalign the grid.
  • This print is designed for Avery 5164 / 8164 sheets.

Frequently asked questions

Does this upload my data?

No. Everything stays in your browser unless you export a CSV. No server uploads, no accounts, no data sent anywhere.

Can I save my labels and come back later?

Yes. Your labels are saved automatically in this browser (localStorage). When you return, you will see a prompt to restore your draft. Clearing browser data may remove saved drafts.

Why use CSV export?

CSV is a plain-text format that works in any spreadsheet app. Export your label list as a backup, edit it in Excel or Google Sheets, and re-import it later. No proprietary lock-in.

What paper or label size should I use?

Avery 5164 / 8164 sheets work best (2 columns x 3 rows, 4 x 3.333 in each). Plain paper layouts are also available for taping onto boxes.

Why do I need to print at Actual Size / 100%?

Browser print dialogs often default to Fit to Page or Shrink to Fit, which scales the content. For Avery label sheets, the grid must print at exact size so the labels align with the stock. Always select Actual Size or 100% in your print dialog.

Can I exclude labels from printing without deleting them?

Yes. Each label has a checkbox to include or exclude it from print. Excluded labels are dimmed in the list and skipped when printing. CSV export includes all rows regardless of print selection.
