Tips for Printing Avery Labels or Any Labels
From the above content, you know that it is possible to print a PDF to a label template. You can also print barcode or shipping labels from a PDF while getting rid of the excessive blank space. However, if you are a newbie, you may encounter many unexpected problems. Look at several tips to avoid common printing issues and make your work trouble-free.
1) Choose labels compatible with the printer.
Before you print labels from a PDF, make sure your label type is suitable for your printer type: Inkjet or Laser Labels/printer.
2) Use proper label type for your design
Full-bleed, and no-gap bordered cost-saving designs are good for address or file folder labels. Some other labels adopt other designs for neat printing.
3) Match the label template
You'd better download the exact label template that you're required to use for label alignment. Get the template number on the packaging sheet if there is one.
4) Printer paper size and scale setup
You can print a PDF onto Avery labels or label templates with the right paper size. Usually 8.5 x 11 inches. Set the page size to actual size.
5) Always have a test print
If you purchased blank labels to print using Avery labels or similar labels, test just a few labels before printing a large number. Reduce possible paper waste.
Also, please be aware that most printers don’t support printing to the edge.
Conclusion
The three methods to print labels from an Adobe PDF may meet most of your printing needs. Avery labels in the US are mostly sized in the Letter (8.5" x 11"), while in other countries like the UK, Germany, or France, they use the A4 paper size. All printers and PDF programs offer size options. If your PDF page size doesn’t match the label dimension, you can order a label printer model specifically for that label. Then, take a screenshot of the label from your PDF and change the printing size to print.
