Avery L7160 in Apple Pages, step by step
-
Fastest: print an aligned PDF
Pages does not ship an Avery L7160 template. Make the L7160 labels in the designer at the top of this page, download the PDF and print it from Preview with Scale set to 100 %.
-
Set up the document
To build the L7160 layout in Pages, create a Blank word-processing document. In the Document sidebar choose A4 paper, turn off header and footer, and set the document margins: top 15.2 mm, bottom 0, left 7.2 mm, right 7.2 mm. The bottom margin stays at 0 on purpose: the 7 table rows already place every label, and the empty paragraph that always follows a table then fits in the 15.2 mm below the last row instead of starting a blank second page.
-
Add a 5-column table
Click Table in the toolbar, then give the L7160 grid 5 columns and 7 rows (use the handles at the table's edges or the Table menu) and set header and footer rows to none in the Table tab of the Format sidebar; the even columns are spacers between the 3 label columns.
-
Enter the exact sizes
Select the columns, then in the Format sidebar's Table tab, under Row & Column Size, set the widths to 63.5 mm, 2.5 mm, 63.5 mm, 2.5 mm, 63.5 mm and the row height to 38.1 mm for every row. Turn the table outline and gridlines off in the same tab.
-
Fill the 21 cells
Type into each cell (about 8 lines at 10 pt fit) and copy finished cells to the other L7160 positions. For address lists, the macOS Contacts app can also print mailing labels from a contact group with Avery layouts in its print dialog.
-
Print L7160 at 100 %
File › Print with A4 paper and 100 % scaling; on a plain-paper test the 3 columns of L7160 should start 7.2 mm from the left edge.
Worked example: 100 address labels on L7160
One Pages table holds 21 Avery L7160 labels, so 100 labels need 5 pages: duplicate the page with the table 4 times and leave the last 5 cells empty. Check that each copy still starts 15.2 mm from the top.
In the LabelGrid designer the same 100 rows go into merge mode; the free version prints the first 21 (one full L7160 sheet) and Pro removes the limit. To reuse a part-used sheet, set the start position to the first empty label.

When L7160 labels print out of line in Apple Pages
- The L7160 table grows past the page: a cell has more text than its 38.1 mm height allows; Pages enlarges the row instead of clipping, so cut a line or shrink the type.
- Preview prints the PDF smaller than the L7160 sheet: in the print dialog choose Scale 100 % instead of “Scale to fit”.
- In Apple Pages, L7160 labels that drift more the lower they are mean the page was scaled: at 97 % row 7, 281.9 mm from the top, lands about 8.5 mm off. Print at 100 %.
