Print Perfect Mailing Labels
Overview
You can generate mailing labels for your contacts using standard 30-label sheets such as Avery 5160 (laser) or 8160 (inkjet). This feature helps you quickly produce professional mailing labels for bulk or individual mailings.
Labels print in a fixed 3×10 template, with options to start at any row or column to reuse partial sheets.
How to Print Mailing Labels
1. Select Your Contacts
- Go to Contacts > Group Actions.
- Add the contacts you want to print.
Ensure each contact has a complete mailing address.
Tip: Use the option to remove contacts with incomplete addresses at the bottom of the page before printing.
2. Open the Mailing Labels Tool
- Click the Actions tab within Group Actions.
- Select Mailing Labels from the options.
3. Adjust Start Position for Partial Sheets

Page Scaling: None or Default
These settings help maintain precise label positioning.
