The best sheet for Christmas return address labels
Small seasonal return-address labels for the back flap of Christmas cards: your own address, a touch of red or green, many to a sheet. Avery 8195 puts 60 labels on one US Letter sheet in 4 columns and 15 rows, which is why it is the default for Christmas return address labels here.
Each label is 1 3/4″ (44.4 mm) wide and 0.66″ (16.8 mm) tall, with a 0.55″ (14 mm) top margin and a 0.3″ (7.6 mm) side margin on the sheet. The longest line of the preset, “Evergreen, CO 80439”, has 19 characters; at 10 pt one label holds about 2 lines of 21 characters, at 8 pt about 3 lines of 27.
Compared with 8195: Avery 5167 has 76 % of the label area and 80 instead of 60 labels per sheet and Avery 5160 has 2.3× the label area and 30 instead of 60 labels per sheet. Pick the larger labels when your cards need bigger type, the smaller ones when you print many.

Tips for printing Christmas return address labels
- One 80-up sheet covers a card list of up to 80 names; print a second one and keep it for thank-you notes in January.
- At 1/2″ tall, keep each line under about 28 characters so the text stays at a readable 6-7 pt.
- Times with small red corner marks gives a classic engraved look without images.
- Return labels on the back flap can be decorative; on the front, keep them plain and in the top-left corner.
Print plan: Christmas return address labels for 25 to 150 cards
For 100 cards you need 2 sheets of 8195, with 20 labels left for next time; add 4 sheets of 5160 for the Christmas card address labels (30 per sheet). None of these runs fills whole 8195 sheets; 60, 120 or 180 labels would. The plain-paper test costs no label sheet, so print it first.
| Cards | 8195 sheets (60/sheet) | Labels left over | Or 5167 sheets (80/sheet) | + 5160 sheets (card address labels) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 cards | 1 | 35 | 1 | 1 (2 sheets in all) |
| 50 cards | 1 | 10 | 1 | 2 (3 sheets in all) |
| 100 cards | 2 | 20 | 2 | 4 (6 sheets in all) |
| 150 cards | 3 | 30 | 2 | 5 (8 sheets in all) |
When to print Christmas return address labels
Christmas falls on Friday, December 25, 2026, 62 days after this page's data date (October 24, 2026). Labels print in minutes, so the timing that matters is when your cards have to be ready or in the mail.
If you mail cards, check your postal service's own published holiday mailing dates; they change every year and LabelGrid does not guess them. Print one test sheet on plain paper first: it shows scaling or alignment problems before they cost a label sheet.

Frequently asked questions
What size are Christmas return address labels?
LabelGrid's default for Christmas return address labels is 0.66″ × 1 3/4″ (Avery 8195, 60 per sheet). Other sheets that fit: Avery 5167 at 1/2″ × 1 3/4″ and Avery 5160 at 1″ × 2 5/8″.
How many Christmas return address labels fit on one sheet?
60 on Avery 8195, 80 on Avery 5167 and 30 on Avery 5160. For 160 cards at 1 label each you need 3 sheets of Avery 8195.
Can every label on the sheet be different?
Yes. The preset repeats one design on every label, which suits Christmas return address labels. For different text on each label, switch to merge mode and paste one row per label; the free version prints one full sheet per list.
When is Christmas?
The next Christmas after this page's data date (October 24, 2026) is Friday, December 25, 2026. Print a test sheet a few days before you need the cards, and check your postal service for mailing dates if you send them.
Why do my Christmas return address labels print out of line?
Check the print dialog first: “fit to page” or any scale other than 100 % shrinks the sheet, and the labels drift. Choose “Actual size” or 100 % scale, the right paper (US Letter) and no “fit to page”. If every label is off by the same amount, use the printer offset in the designer to nudge the whole sheet.
