Frequently Asked Questions
- How many labels are on an Avery 5161 sheet?
- Avery 5161 sheets have 20 labels — 2 columns and 10 rows. Each label is 1 inch tall and 4 inches wide. The wider format makes it ideal for longer barcodes and for labels that need a barcode plus a full line of descriptive text side by side.
- What is the difference between Avery 5160 and Avery 5161?
- Avery 5160 has 30 labels per sheet at 1"×2⅛" — shorter and narrower, best for product price tags. Avery 5161 has 20 labels per sheet at 1"×4" — same height but much wider, better for address labels, file folders, and long barcodes like FNSKU or tracking numbers.
- Does this tool generate a PDF that fits Avery 5161 exactly?
- Yes. Bulk Barcode Generator includes an Avery 5161 preset that outputs a 2-column × 10-row PDF with the correct margins and label pitch. Print at 100% scale on any inkjet or laser printer and the barcodes will align perfectly.
- What barcode format works best on an Avery 5161 label?
- Code 128 is ideal for the 1"×4" format — the 4-inch width gives plenty of room for the barcode and a text line below it. EAN-13 and UPC-A also fit well. For Amazon FNSKU labels, Code 128 is required. The 1-inch height is enough for a readable Code 128 barcode at minimum quiet zone.
- Can I print FNSKU barcodes on Avery 5161 sheets?
- Yes. Avery 5161 works well for Amazon FNSKU labels — the 4-inch width gives enough room for the Code 128 barcode plus the human-readable FNSKU code and product title below it. Many FBA sellers prefer 5161 for longer FNSKUs because the extra width prevents the barcode from being squeezed.
