Labelfit

Address labels that line up

Labelfit prints the addresses from your Contacts onto the label sheets you already bought. One test page on plain paper lines the labels up with your printer, to within about a millimetre, so every address stays inside its label.

Printing your labels

1. Add addresses. Open Addresses and tap Add from Contacts, Paste addresses, Open a CSV or text file or Type an address. Tick who gets a card this time.
2. Choose the sheet. Tap Label sheet and pick the number printed on your pack (for example 5160 or L7160), or Custom to enter the sizes.
3. Print. Check the preview, tap Print and choose your printer. If a print panel offers scaling, choose 100% or Actual Size, not Fit to Page.

Lining up with your printer

Every printer puts the page in a slightly different place, and many stretch it a little along the paper path. Labelfit corrects both:

1. Open Line up with your printer and print the test page on ordinary paper.
2. Lay it on a label sheet, edges together, and hold both up to a window.
3. Labels A and B each have two small scales across their edges. Where the edge of the real label crosses a scale is the number to enter (each mark is 1 mm). Enter the four numbers and tap Save readings.
4. Print the test page again: every scale should read 0. Within about half a millimetre is normal: each sheet feeds slightly differently, and Labelfit keeps text 2 mm in from every edge so it stays inside the label.

No ruler is needed. Corrections are saved for each printer, and Labelfit asks which printer you are using when you print.

Print address labels from iPhone contacts?

Open Addresses, tap Add from Contacts, pick a group or the people you want (for someone with several addresses, choose which one), then tap Print.

Print on Avery 5160 from an iPad?

Tap Label sheet and choose 5160 / 8160, check the preview on the right and tap Print. Labelfit works with Avery 5160 and 8160 sheets; it is not made by or affiliated with Avery.

Print on Avery L7160 or Zweckform 3422 on A4?

The A4 sheets are listed first when your device is set to an A4 country. Choose L7160 (or 3422, 3475, 3474, L7163, L7161, L7159), then print.

Fix labels that print off-centre or drift towards the bottom?

That is your printer shifting or stretching the page. Print the test page once, read the four scales and save. Later prints use those corrections.

Print on a sheet that is already partly used?

Tap the first free label in the preview, or use Start at label. Only the first sheet starts there.

Print a sheet of return address labels?

Choose a return-address sheet such as 5167 (80 per sheet), then set Fill sheet with to your own address.

Print labels from a spreadsheet or a list in Notes?

Copy the rows with a header row (Name, Street, City, State, ZIP), or addresses separated by blank lines, and use Paste addresses. CSV and text files open with Open a CSV or text file.

Keep last year's Christmas card list?

Lists stay on your device. In Addresses, tap List, then duplicate last year's list to start this year's.

Laser or inkjet?

What does Labelfit do with my contacts?

It reads only the contacts you import, on your device, to make your labels. Nothing is uploaded. See the privacy policy.

Printing photos at an exact size?

Labelfit is for address labels. For photos, ID photos and pictures that have to come out at an exact size, there is a separate app: Printfit. More about Printfit.
