Buy the correct labels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-weprint-diy\" alt=\"To print Avery labels choose the size and shape you want from our blank labels or custom labels\" style=\"width:292px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes people make is using labels that aren\u2019t compatible with their printer. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inkjet vs. Laser Labels:<\/strong> Inkjet printers use liquid ink, while laser printers use toner. Using the wrong type can lead to smearing or flaking. Some Avery labels work with both, but always check the package to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Check Your Printer Type:<\/strong> Inkjet printers use small ink cartridges, while laser printers use larger toner cartridges. If you&#8217;re unsure, check your printer\u2019s manufacturer website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-pick-the-right-labels-for-your-design\">2. Pick the right labels for your design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your label design can affect which type of label you should use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full-bleed (edge-to-edge) designs:<\/strong> Use print-to-the-edge labels to achieve seamless, borderless printing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple designs with borders:<\/strong> Labels with no gaps between them are best for neat, uniform borders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large, custom shapes:<\/strong> Full-sheet labels let you print and cut unique sizes if you can\u2019t find the exact shape you need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>? <strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re printing a lot of full-color labels, using an inkjet at home may get expensive. Consider<a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/should-you-print-your-own-labels-or-order-custom-labels\/\"> professional printing<\/a> when DIY is becoming too much or you need a more professional look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-achieving-full-bleed\" alt=\"Shows what it looks like to print labels with xtra space between labels\" style=\"object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Labels without space between them are better for designs that use borders or no background color at all. This condensed layout also allows for more labels per sheet, making this more cost-effective. For example, address labels for mailing lists and file folder labels would work perfectly with this sheet design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-5160-layout-inset\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-5160-layout-inset\" alt=\"Shows what it looks like to print labels with no extra space between labels\" style=\"object-fit:cover\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-use-the-correct-avery-template\">3. Use the correct Avery template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the wrong template is a common cause of misaligned prints. Only <a href=\"\/templates\/\">Avery templates <\/a>are guaranteed to match Avery labels. Find your template number on the packaging or label sheet, then download the exact match from Avery\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/software\/design-and-print\/\">Design &amp; Print Online<\/a> makes it even easier by automatically aligning your design and showing safety areas so nothing gets cut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-understand-the-label-printable-area\">4. Understand the label printable area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-printable-area\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-printable-area\" alt=\"learn the printable area of avery labels\" style=\"width:292px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Labels have three key printing zones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safety area: <\/strong>The section that is guaranteed to print on the label. Keep all of your important content such as text and business logos within this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bleed area:<\/strong> The extra design space outside the trim line that full-color backgrounds, images, and other content fill in order to have a print-to-the-edge or full-bleed design. Filling in this area ensures that there will not be any blank margins around your final label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trim area<\/strong>: The physical border of the label. This border will give you a good approximation of where your design will be cut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-design-best-practices\">5. Design best practices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, printers aren&#8217;t perfect. It&#8217;s common for sheets to shift slightly during printing. However, you can optimize your design by using safe, trim, and bleed areas to make any slight misalignments less noticeable. We also have a few tips you can keep in mind depending on the type of design you plan to print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-text\">Adding text<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep important details (like addresses and barcodes) inside the safety area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use at least <strong>7pt font<\/strong> for easy readability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check font color contrast\u2014make sure text is easy to read against the background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-pick-the-right-font-for-your-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Pick the Right Fonts for Your Labels<\/a> for more ideas.

Note: If you are using our <a href=\"\/software\/barcode-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free barcode generator<\/a> make sure your labels can be read by a barcode scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-5160-legible\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-whatwaytoprint-5160-legible\" alt=\"make sure your text is legible when you print your labels or order custom labels\" style=\"object-fit:cover\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-full-bleed-printing\">Full-bleed printing<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all labels support full-bleed printing, so choose print-to-the-edge labels if needed.
