Avery 5162 in Canva, step by step
-
Create a sheet-sized design
Canva works per design, not per label, so start with Create a design › Custom size 8.5 × 11 in, the full US Letter sheet that holds 14 Avery 5162 labels.
-
Show rulers and guides
Turn on rulers and guides (under File or View settings, depending on your Canva version), then drag vertical guides from the ruler to the left label edges at 0.156 in, 4.344 in; zoom in to place them precisely (each label is 4 in wide).
-
Add the row guides
Drag horizontal guides to the top label edges at 0.833 in, 2.167 in, 3.5 in … every 1.333 in … 8.833 in (each label is 1.333 in tall).
-
Design inside the boxes
Keep text at least 0.063 in inside every 5162 label edge; Canva has no snap-to-label, so check each of the 14 copies against the guides.
-
Export a print PDF
Download the 5162 sheet (Share › Download) as PDF Print with crop marks and bleed turned off, then print at 100 % (“Actual size”) on US Letter paper.
-
Or lay out the sheet with LabelGrid
Text-only 5162 labels are quicker in the designer above: it places all 14 positions for you. Images on labels are part of LabelGrid Pro.
Worked example: 100 save the date labels on 5162
100 labels on Avery 5162 need 8 pages of 14: duplicate the finished page 7 times, change the text on each copy and make sure the guides at 0.156 in and 0.833 in are on every page.
In the LabelGrid designer the same 100 rows go into merge mode; the free version prints the first 14 (one full 5162 sheet) and Pro removes the limit. To reuse a part-used sheet, set the start position to the first empty label.
The Canva numbers for Avery 5162
| Custom design size | 8.5 × 11 in |
|---|---|
| Label box | 4 in × 1.333 in, 14 boxes |
| Vertical guides (left edges) | 0.156 in, 4.344 in |

When 5162 labels print out of line in Canva
- The 5162 page shrinks when printed from the browser tab: print the downloaded PDF from a PDF viewer at Actual size instead.
- Designs sit a little off the 5162 die-cuts: snapping moved an element; zoom in and check it against the 0.156 in and 0.833 in guides.
- Text cut off on the first or last 5162 row: many printers leave about 1/4″ (6 mm) unprinted, and 5162 has 0.833 in at the top and 0.833 in at the bottom, so keep Canva text 0.063 in inside each label.
