Avery L7163 in Google Docs, step by step
-
Fastest: use an aligned PDF
Google Docs has no built-in Avery L7163 layout. Type your text or paste your rows in the designer at the top of this page and download a PDF already aligned to the 14 positions of the L7163 sheet; open it and print at 100 %.
-
Set up the page in Docs
To build the L7163 layout in Docs, open a blank document and go to File › Page setup: paper size A4, margins top 15.2 mm, bottom 0, left 4.7 mm, right 4.7 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.
-
Insert a 3 × 7 table
Use Insert › Table and draw the L7163 grid as 3 columns by 7 rows (2 label columns plus 1 narrow gap columns).
-
Size the cells exactly
Select the L7163 table and open Format › Table › Table properties (called Table options in newer versions). Column widths: 99.1 mm, 2.5 mm, 99.1 mm. Minimum row height: 38.1 mm for every row. Set cell padding to 0 and the table border to 0 pt so each L7163 cell is exactly one label.
-
Type within the label
Keep each cell to about 8 lines at 10 pt; Docs grows a row when text overflows and every L7163 label below it shifts down, and the last row can then push onto a second page.
-
Lists from Google Sheets
Docs cannot merge a spreadsheet into the L7163 table by itself; label add-ons exist in the Google Workspace Marketplace, or paste the rows from Sheets into LabelGrid's merge mode above.
-
Print L7163 at 100 %
Use File › Print or download a PDF, set A4 paper and 100 % scale (not “fit to page”), and check a plain-paper test: the first L7163 row starts 15.2 mm from the top.
Worked example: 49 labels on L7163
One Docs table holds 14 Avery L7163 labels, so 49 labels need the finished table copied onto 4 pages; the last page uses 7 of its 14 cells. Paste a page break before each copy so every table starts at the top margin of 15.2 mm.
In the LabelGrid designer the same 49 rows go into merge mode; the free version prints the first 14 (one full L7163 sheet) and Pro removes the limit. To reuse a part-used sheet, set the start position to the first empty label.
The Google Docs numbers for Avery L7163
| Page setup margins | top 15.2 mm, bottom 0 (the sheet has 15.2 mm), left 4.7 mm, right 4.7 mm |
|---|---|
| Table size | 3 columns × 7 rows |

| Minimum row height | 38.1 mm for every row |
| Cell padding / border | 0 / 0 pt |
When L7163 labels print out of line in Google Docs
- A second, empty page appears after the L7163 table: Docs keeps a paragraph after every table and it cannot be deleted. Check File › Page setup: with the bottom margin at 0 (step 2) that paragraph fits in the 15.2 mm below the last row; with a 15.2 mm bottom margin it does not.
- Columns look right on screen but the L7163 labels print narrow: Docs may round widths; re-enter 99.1 mm for each label column and check the page margins again.
- In Google Docs, L7163 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 %.
About the Avery L7163 sheet
Avery® L7163 (mailing labels) has 14 labels of 99.1 × 38.1 mm per A4 sheet. The same layout is sold under other Avery codes too (J8163), so these settings work for them as well.
Avery® L7163 is named only to identify compatible sheets; LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an Avery L7163 template in Google Docs?
Not built in. Build a 3 × 7 table with the sizes above, use a label add-on, or download the aligned PDF from LabelGrid and print it.
What are the measurements of Avery L7163?
14 labels of 99.1 mm × 38.1 mm on A4, 2 across and 7 down. In Docs: page margins 15.2 mm top and 4.7 mm left, columns of 99.1 mm.
Why do my L7163 labels from Google Docs drift down the page?
Either a row grew past 38.1 mm because of extra text or the page was scaled; at 97 % the last row moves about 8.5 mm. Print at 100 %.
Can I skip Google Docs entirely?
Yes. The LabelGrid designer at the top of this page is set to Avery L7163: type one label or paste a list and download a PDF aligned to all 14 positions, free and in your browser.
