Notes for first-time users

Hlabels.com has developed a Google Docs™ and Sheets™ extension (add-on) called "Label Sheets - Create, Mail Merge & Print Labels". You can find it in the Google Workspace Marketplace, by typing its name into the "Search apps" box.
This add-on helps you print label content on standard or custom label sheets, in any quantity, saving you from manually dealing with label templates, copy-pasting, and alignment issues.

Google Docs™

To create labels in Google Docs™ and print them on the Flexilabels® FK3 template, click the button above and follow the steps below.

  1. Click the blue "USE TEMPLATE" button in the top-right corner. Google Docs™ will open and automatically launch the Hlabels add-on, already set up to print on label sheets using this template.
    If you haven't used the add-on before, you'll be prompted to install it first.
  2. Optionally, adjust the layout settings (Alignment & Positioning) to suit your needs. Learn more here.
  3. The add-on will replace and resize the default document with a single blank page, measuring 177.0 millimeters by 94.0 millimeters, which is the size of one label.
  4. Fill in the content of the label. To add another label with different content, simply add a new document page. If you need to create dozens or hundreds of labels — like name tags or address labels — use the option to import data from a Google or Excel sheet.

Google Sheets™

If your label data is contained in the rows of a Google Sheet and the layout requires only basic text formatting, it is simpler to use the Hlabels add-on directly within Google Sheets™, rather than importing the data into a Google document. Follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Google Sheet where the data for your labels (hundreds, if needed) is stored.
  2. Go to the Extensions menu to launch the Hlabels add-on. If you haven't used it before, install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace first.
  3. Select the Flexilabels® FK3 template and, if needed, adjust the layout settings (Alignment & Positioning) to suit your needs. Learn more here.
  4. Press Continue, and a text area will appear, sized with the same width-to-height ratio (1.88) as a single Flexilabels® FK3 label.
  5. Place the cursor where you want the content of a column to appear, then click on that column's representative. Repeat for any other columns whose data should appear on the label. Be sure to choose a font size that allows the text to fit properly within the label space.

That's it!
The Hlabels add-on will automatically generate a print-ready file. It will populate up to 3 label positions on the Flexilabels® FK3 template with the content from each label, based on your layout settings.
You can either print it directly using your inkjet or laser printer, or download the file for later use.

Correcting print misalignments

When printing for the first time, it's very likely you'll encounter some alignment issues.
If the shift is small (1–3 mm), use the Offset and Bleed Area settings in the Hlabels Google Docs™ and Sheets™ extension to correct it, regardless of the root cause.

If the shift is larger or inconsistent among labels, check out Hlabels' comprehensive guide. It lists more than twenty possible causes — ranked by their likelihood — and explains how to diagnose and fix each one.
