What the AI looks for in Address Labels
- Layout
- 30-up 1" x 2-5/8" for recipient addresses; 80-up 1/2" x 1-3/4" for return addresses. These are the layouts that mail-merge templates expect.
- Printer match
- Laser-rated or inkjet-rated, matching your printer. A mismatch causes smearing or jams.
- Permanent adhesive
- Use permanent adhesive for anything you mail. Removable labels can peel off during mail sorting.
Brands that matter
- Avery: The reference 5160 and 8160 address labels.
What to avoid
- Removable-adhesive labels on outgoing mail.
Questions
Do other brands work with the 5160 template?
Yes, if the package says it is compatible with 5160. Check that the margins match by printing a test sheet on plain paper first.
