How do I make labels to print on an A4 sheet?

This online maker lays out labels on an A4 sheet, for sticker sheets or plain paper. You pick the grid by label size, type the text or paste a list with one label per line, and choose the style: text, school, jars or return address. Check the size against the package and print a test on plain paper.

How to make the labels

1. Pick the grid by the size of the label. Compare it with the package of your sticker sheet.
2. Type the text that repeats on every label, or paste a list with one label per line.
3. Choose the style and the color. Long text shrinks by itself to fit.
4. On a sticker sheet, turn the outline off. On plain paper, leave it on for cutting.
5. Print a test on plain paper and hold it against the sticker sheet, up to the light, to see whether the text lands inside each label.
6. Tap Print the sheet. Keep the paper at A4 and the scale at 100% (actual size), with no fit to page.

Repeated text or a list

• Text: the same content on every label of the sheet. Good for your return address or your name on every notebook.
• List: one label per line. Good for invitation addresses, student names and jar names.
• In the list, the vertical bar breaks the line inside the label: Ana Smith | 123 Example Street | Your City.
• When the list has content, it is used instead of the repeated text.
• The list continues on more sheets when it passes one. The limit is 6 sheets at a time, and 260 labels on the smallest grid.
• In the School style, the parts of the line fill in Name, Class and Subject: Ana Smith | 3B | Math.

Exact measurements of each grid

• 3 × 7 (21 per sheet): label of 63.5 × 38.1 mm. Top margin 15.15 mm, side margin 7.21 mm, 2.54 mm gap between columns, no gap between rows.
• 2 × 7 (14 per sheet): label of 99 × 38.1 mm. Top margin 15.15 mm, side margin 4.75 mm, 2.5 mm gap between columns, no gap between rows.
• 3 × 8 (24 per sheet): label of 70 × 37 mm. Top margin 0.5 mm, no side margin and no gaps.
• 5 × 13 (65 per sheet): label of 38 × 21 mm. Top margin 12 mm, side margin 5 mm, 2.5 mm gap between columns, no gap between rows.
• 2 × 5 (10 per sheet): label of 99 × 57 mm. Top margin 6 mm, side margin 4.75 mm, 2.5 mm gap between columns, no gap between rows.
• Sheets from different makers can differ by a few tenths of a millimeter. Check the measurements on the package and print a test on plain paper before using the sticker sheet.

The four styles

• Text: the text in the middle of the label. With more than one line, the first one stands out.
• School: Name, Class and Subject lines for notebooks and books. With no text, the lines come out blank to fill in by hand.
• Organizing: a frame for jars, boxes and folders, with the word very large.
• Return address: a small "From:" in the corner and the address aligned to the left.

Tips

• The outline helps you cut on plain paper. On a sticker sheet, turn it off: the sheet is already cut.
• In the print window, choose 100% or actual size. The fit to page option changes the size of the labels.
• Printers cannot reach the very edge of the paper. That is why the text stays away from the edge of the sheet.
• For kitchen jars, cover the paper label with wide clear tape.
• Blank school labels: choose the School style and leave the fields empty.

Privacy

• The labels are built on your device. Names and addresses are not sent anywhere.
• The text, the list and the color are kept in this browser for your next visit. Clear the list when you finish if the device is shared.
