To print Avery labels on your MAC, you'll want to select "File and Page Setup" in the upper left corner to review your paper size and scale.

Make sure your paper size is set correctly and the scale is 100% to ensure your labels print accurately.

Next, open the print dialog window by selecting "File and Print" in the upper left corner, then select "Show Details" followed by "Media & Quality."

Change the media type to label, heavy-weight, matte photo paper, or a similar option that indicates to your printer that the sheet will be thicker than normal paper.

Set the quality to "Best" to ensure your labels print with the highest quality.

Test your design on a plain piece of paper to double check it's exactly how you want it to look before printing your actual labels.

Custom Label Creation

To create custom labels on your Mac, you'll need to use Microsoft Word. Open a blank Microsoft Word document by clicking the File menu, selecting New, and choosing Blank.

You can also open a new document by clicking Blank on the New window if you already have Microsoft Word open.

Click the Mailings tab, which is located at the top of Word. This will open the Envelopes and Labels panel to the Labels tab.

To select your Avery label sheets, click the Options button at the bottom of the window and choose Avery US Letter or Avery A4/A5 from the "Label vendors" menu.

Select your specific Avery product from the "Product number" menu, which is usually printed on the packaging. This tells the printer the dimensions of your labels so they print properly.

You can also select options for your mail merge if you're doing a mail merge, but you can skip this step if you're printing labels that aren't coming from a pre-existing address list.

To fill out your labels, enter the information you want on your label. You can click Insert address to add an address from your contacts list, or just type the contents of your label into the box.

Here's a quick checklist to help you create your custom labels:

  1. Open a blank Microsoft Word document
  2. Click the Mailings tab
