Avery 5160 alignment guide

Check your printer before buying an export. Download the free test grid and print on plain paper at Actual size.

Checklist

  1. Download the free alignment test above before buying labels. For purchased PDFs, export in the Avery 5160/8160 format.
  2. When printing, set Scale to 100% / “Actual size” (do not fit-to-page).
  3. Print a test page on plain paper.
  4. Hold the test page behind a label sheet up to a light to confirm alignment.
  5. If it’s off, check printer settings for margins, borderless mode, or auto scaling.

Common fixes

  • Turn off “Fit to printable area”
  • Disable “Auto rotate and center” if it shifts your page
  • Try a different PDF viewer (Chrome vs system viewer) if scaling differs
