How the Avery 5385 sheet is laid out
The 2 columns and 4 rows of Avery 5385 labels are centred: 1/4″ of backing at each side, 1 1/6″ at the top and bottom.
No gaps at all: every 5385 label touches its neighbours, so keep an inner margin of 1/16″ and avoid full-bleed colour.
Labels cover 74 % of the page; the rest is backing.
No other sheet in LabelGrid's data (the gLabels database plus checked additions) has exactly the Avery 5385 layout, so avoid "close enough" templates.

How much text fits on an Avery 5385 label
At 10 pt a 5385 label holds about 12 lines of 55 characters: room for a full shipping block, a packing list or a page of notes, so larger type (14 pt gives 8 lines) is usually the better choice. Helvetica estimates with a 1/16″ inner margin; the tool shrinks text that does not fit.
| Font size | Lines | Characters per line |
|---|---|---|
| 7 pt | 17 | 79 |
| 8 pt | 15 | 69 |
| 10 pt | 12 | 55 |
| 12 pt | 10 | 46 |
| 14 pt | 8 | 39 |
Printing Avery 5385 labels straight
-
Download the PDF from the tool (or the blank 5385 template) and use US Letter paper: on A4 (6 mm narrower, 18 mm taller) the 5385 rows drift down the page.
-
Print at 100 % / Actual size; "Fit to page" shrinks about 3 % and moves the bottom 5385 row by roughly 7.5 mm.
-
Test on plain paper, hold it against a 5385 sheet to the light and enter any offset in mm in the tool.
Where the Avery 5385 numbers come from
The 5385 size, count, layout and margins match Avery's published template (checked 2026-10-24), blank template U-0115-01. Data note: Missing from gLabels. Avery publishes 2 1/6 x 4 in rotary cards, 8 per sheet; grid measured from Avery's blank template U-0115-01. LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery (Avery® is a trademark of its owner); "5385" only names the sheet this template fits.
