Label Sizes for Laser, Dot Matrix and Inkjet Printers

The new Avery 8000 label line is the same measurement as the 5000 line.

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

Recent versions of FileMaker Pro, ClarisWorks and Claris Organizer have built-in label templates for the most popular sizes of Avery labels. The templates are identified by the Avery model number. The 4000 series are labels for dot matrix printers. The 5000 series are for Laser printers.

Avery now produces a line of labels just for inkjet printers. These labels are the 8000 series. Each 8000 series label is the same size as its 5000 series equivalent. For example, the 8162 label is the same size as the 5162. Therefore, to create a label layout for an inkjet printer, use the 5000 series equivalent layout.
