The number that became a standard

5160 is the address label sheet that everything else is measured against. It has been in stationery cupboards long enough that the number is used as a size rather than a product — people say “5160s” the way they say A4, and half the label sheets sold by other brands describe themselves as 5160-compatible rather than by their own dimensions.

Practically, that means the grid below is the safest bet you can make. If the box in your drawer says 30 per sheet and the labels measure an inch tall, this template fits it, whatever brand name is on the packaging.

Sheets this fits

These products all use the same 1" × 2-5/8" grid at 30 per sheet. They differ by printer type, adhesive, and pack size — not by where the labels sit on the page.

Frequently asked questions

What size is an Avery 5160 label?
One inch tall by two and five-eighths inches wide, laid out three across and ten down for thirty labels on a US Letter sheet. The columns are separated by a one-eighth-inch gutter and the rows run edge to edge with no gap between them.
Do I need Microsoft Word to use a 5160 template?
No. That is the main reason this page exists. The maker above runs in your browser and hands you a finished PDF, so there is no Word document to open, no template to fight with, and no risk of the layout re-flowing when a different printer driver gets hold of it.
Is 5160 the same as 8160?
Same sheet, different printer. 5160 is the laser version and 8160 is the inkjet one — identical grid, identical label size, different face stock and adhesive. A PDF built for one prints correctly on the other, so use whichever box is in front of you.
Why does the Word 5160 template print off by a fraction?
Word re-flows a document based on the printer driver and default paper size of the machine that opens it, so a template that was correct when it was made can shift on somebody else's computer. A PDF fixes the geometry at the moment it is created, which is why we generate one rather than handing you a .doc.
How many sheets do I need for 100 addresses?
Four — three full sheets of thirty plus ten labels on the fourth. Paste all one hundred addresses into the maker at once and it paginates for you; the counter under the download button confirms the sheet count before you print anything.
