How to Print Labels on A4 Sheets
A step-by-step guide to printing perfectly aligned labels on standard A4 label paper using Lableo.
Step 1: Choose Your A4 Sheet Layout
Open Lableo and select "A4 Label Sheet" as your label type. You'll see a list of preset layouts matching popular label paper sizes:
- 3x7 (63.5 x 38.1mm) — 21 labels per sheet, Avery L7160 compatible
- 2x7 (99.1 x 38.1mm) — 14 labels, Avery L7163 compatible
- 2x8 (99.1 x 33.9mm) — 16 labels, Avery L7162 compatible
- 3x8 (63.5 x 33.9mm) — 24 labels, Avery L7159 compatible
- 5x13 (38.1 x 21.2mm) — 65 labels, Avery L7651 compatible
If your label paper doesn't match any preset, choose "Custom A4" and enter your exact label dimensions, margins, and gaps.
Step 2: Design Your Label
The editor shows one label cell at actual size. Everything you place here gets repeated across all cells on the A4 sheet. Use the toolbar to add:
- Text — product names, addresses, descriptions
- Barcodes — EAN-13, Code 128, UPC-A, and more
- QR Codes — links, contact info, WiFi credentials
- Images — logos, icons, product photos
- Shapes — rectangles, ellipses, lines for decorative elements
Step 3: Import Data for Unique Labels (Optional)
If you need each label to be different (e.g., address labels or product labels with different SKUs), import an Excel or CSV file:
- Click the Data Import button in the toolbar
- Upload your spreadsheet file
- Add Variable Text elements to your label
- Map each variable to a spreadsheet column
- Lableo creates one label per row of data
Step 4: Print
Click Print to preview your A4 sheet. Important print settings:
- Set scale to "Actual Size" or 100% (never "Fit to Page")
- Set margins to "None" or "Minimum"
- Use the correct paper size (A4)
Tips for Best Results
- Do a test print on regular paper first — hold it up against your label sheet to check alignment
- Make sure your browser print dialog shows "Actual Size" or 100% scaling
- If labels are slightly off, try adjusting the margins in the Custom A4 preset
