Frequently Asked Questions
- How many labels are on an Avery 5163 sheet?
- Avery 5163 sheets have 10 labels — arranged in 2 columns and 5 rows. Each label is 2 inches tall and 4 inches wide. A standard letter-size sheet (8.5"×11") fits 10 of these larger labels, making them ideal for warehouse shelves, shipping labels, and file folders where you need space for a large barcode and multiple lines of text.
- What is the difference between Avery 5160 and Avery 5163?
- Avery 5160 has 30 smaller labels per sheet (1"×2⅛"), while Avery 5163 has 10 larger labels per sheet (2"×4"). Use 5160 for product tags, price labels, and small SKU labels. Use 5163 when you need a bigger barcode, more text, or a label that can be read from a distance — such as warehouse shelves, shipping packages, or file archives.
- Does this tool generate a PDF that fits Avery 5163 exactly?
- Yes. Bulk Barcode Generator includes an Avery 5163 preset that arranges barcodes in a 2-column × 5-row grid with the correct margins and label spacing. Print the PDF at 100% scale (no fit-to-page) on your inkjet or laser printer and the barcodes will align perfectly with your Avery 5163 sheets.
- What barcode format should I use on an Avery 5163 label?
- For warehouse and inventory use, Code 128 is ideal — it supports letters, numbers, and symbols and produces a high-contrast barcode that is easy to scan even from a distance. For retail products, use EAN-13 or UPC-A. For labels that need to be scanned with a smartphone, add a QR code.
- Can I start printing from a specific label on the sheet?
- Yes. The start-at-slot feature lets you skip the first N labels on the sheet. If labels 1 through 4 are already used, set the start position to 5 and the generator will leave those blank, saving partially used sheets.
