Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this tool generate a PDF that fits Avery 5160 sheets exactly?
- Yes. Bulk Barcode Generator includes a built-in Avery 5160 layout preset that arranges barcodes in the correct 5-column × 6-row grid with the exact margins Avery 5160 requires. Open the PDF on any computer and print at 100% scale — no scaling, no adjustments needed.
- How many barcodes can I fit on one Avery 5160 sheet?
- Avery 5160 sheets hold 30 labels — 5 across and 6 down. Each label is 1 inch tall and 2⅛ inches wide. The bulk generator automatically fills pages and creates a multi-page PDF for larger batches.
- Can I start printing from a specific label position?
- Yes. The "start at slot" feature lets you skip labels at the beginning of the first sheet. If the first 10 labels are already used, set the start position to 11 and the generator will leave those spots blank and start from the correct position, saving your partially used sheets.
- What barcode format should I use for Avery 5160 product labels?
- For internal inventory and warehouse labels, Code 128 is the best choice — it supports all letters and numbers, and the 1"×2⅛" label size gives you enough room for a readable barcode plus a text line. For retail products scanned at a point-of-sale, use EAN-13 (international) or UPC-A (US/Canada).
- Is the Avery 5160 PDF compatible with both inkjet and laser printers?
- Yes. The PDF uses standard US Letter dimensions and prints correctly on both inkjet and laser printers. Avery 5160 sheets themselves are rated for both printer types. Print at 100% scale (no "fit to page") for correct label alignment.
