Print your own labels in Google Docs™ and Sheets™

Google Docs™ and Google Sheets™ don’t include built-in label printing features, but many third-party add-ons make it possible to design, merge, and print labels directly from these platforms. However, most fall short in one or more areas that matter most:

• Support only a limited number of label sheet brands • Lack support for custom label sizes or custom templates • No built-in tools to correct printer alignment issues • Complex mail merge processes for labels

The Label Sheets add-on was built to eliminate these frustrations. It supports a wide range of label sheet brands, allows full customization of label sizes and templates, includes built-in alignment tools to fix printer shifts, and simplifies mail merge into a few easy steps.
This add-on takes a different approach: it keeps the user's focus on designing their labels, and automatically and seamlessly arranges them into the template layout.

Launch the 'Label Sheets' Add-on

You can install and launch this add-on either through the Google Workspace Marketplace or directly from our website, on the Google Docs & Sheets label template page you are printing from - for example: Avery-5160.

Choose a standard label template

When you launch the add-on from the template pages on our site, the template brand and code will be automatically preselected for you. Otherwise, simply choose the page format (either Letter or A4), select the template brand, and the template code.

Manage printout alignment

To ensure flawless printout results, the add-on provides the following print settings:

• Apply a vertical offset to correct centering issues caused by your printer. • Add a bleeding area to ensure designs extend to the edge of each label. • Change the page orientation to either portrait or landscape. • Set the number of labels to print per page. If the number of document pages (label designs) exceeds the number of labels on a single sheet, the add-on will automatically generate multi-page printouts.

Create your own custom label template

If you need to create your own label template layout or labels of a custom size, select the Custom option. This is ideal for users who have purchased generic label sheets or are cutting their own labels from plain adhesive sheets.

Manage printout alignment

To ensure accurate label alignment on the printed sheet, the add-on offers the following print adjustment settings:

• Apply a vertical offset to correct centering issues caused by your printer. • Add a bleeding area to ensure designs extend to the edge of each label. • Appy a cutting marker that helps cutting custom-size labels. • Specify the number of labels to be printed on each sheet.

Design

This add-on can be used from either Google Docs™ or Google Sheets™. Most choose Google Docs™ because it allows them to design labels directly on a Docs page, offering full flexibility over the content, while still supporting the import of text data from a spreadsheet.

After launching the add-on in Google Docs™ and selecting your template brand and code, or defining your own label size or template, the add-on will automatically create a document where the page width and height ratio matches that of a single label. This means you simply design one label, and the add-on takes care of generating the full printout for the entire sheet. If you have multiple label designs, you simply add additional pages to the same document - one design per page.

Mail merge

Google Docs™

The Google Docs™ add-on makes it easy to generate hundreds of labels with the same design but different text pulled from a spreadsheet, such as when printing name tags or address labels. The beauty is that you still work on a single page: simply indicate where the data from each spreadsheet column should appear, and the add-on will automatically generate and arrange hundreds of labels for printing.

Google Sheets™

The Google Sheets™ add-on is better suited for quickly generating simple labels by merging data from the current Google Sheets file, though the label design options are very basic.

After launching the add-on and selecting the template brand and code, or defining a custom label size or template, the add-on opens a window with a text area scaled to match a single label. In this area, you can insert static content and placeholders mapped to columns from the current Google Sheets file. The add-on then automatically generates the complete set of labels by merging spreadsheet data into these placeholders, producing a fully formatted, print-ready PDF layout.

Send to your printer

With one click, our add-on generates and displays the printout pages. You can then send them directly to your printer or save them as a PDF for future use.
