Print at actual size
"Fit to page" shrinks the sheet a few percent, so the lower rows drift off their labels. The PDF opens at 100%; keep it there.

Three things that keep 5168 labels straight.
Feed the right side up
Printers differ: some print on the side facing up in the tray, others on the side facing down. Mark an X on a plain sheet, print once and look before you load labels.
Test on plain paper
Hold a plain-paper print over a 5168 sheet against a window. If it sits off, calibrate once and save the correction for that printer.
Avery® 5168 questions
What size are Avery® 5168 labels?
3-1/2 in wide and 5 in tall, 4 per US Letter sheet in 2 columns and 2 rows.
What are the margins on an Avery® 5168 sheet?
Top 1/2 in, bottom 1/2 in, left 1/2 in and right 1/2 in; columns are 1/2 in apart and rows touch.
Which other Avery® numbers use this template?
6 other products share the 5168 layout: 8168, 27950, 60503, 60523, 64658, 95935. If your box shows one of them, use this template.
Can I print on a 5168 sheet I already started?
Yes. Set "Start at label" to the first unused label: label 1 is the top left, and the count runs across each row. The labels before it stay blank.
Why don't my 5168 labels line up?
Check that the print dialog says 100% (Actual size), not "Fit to page". If the print still sits a little off, print the test sheet on the calibration page and save a correction for your printer.
