Half-Sheet Shipping Labels 5.5 in x 8.5 in - 250 White Labels (5-Pack)

In this review of the Avery Half-Sheet Printable Shipping Labels the bottom line is simple: these sheets are for people who print their own shipping and organizational labels and need reliable coverage and strong adhesion. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the TrueBlock complete coverage, which hides old addresses or markings and makes reused boxes look clean and professional. For small businesses, home shippers, and organizers who use inkjet printers, these labels streamline printing and avoid the mess of smudged text.

Key Features

• TrueBlock coverage: Completely blocks old labels and markings so reused boxes and corrected addresses look neat and unreadable underneath the new label.
• Inkjet-optimized paper: Delivers clear text and crisp graphics with reduced smearing or smudging when run through compatible inkjet printers.
• Strong permanent adhesive: Sticks securely to cardboard, plastic, glass, tin, and metal so packages and storage containers stay labeled in transit or in storage.
• Customizable half-sheet size: The 5.5 in x 8.5 in label area is large enough for shipping addresses, logos, and multiple lines of information for product or event labeling.
• Multiple application options: Use by hand or with Avery Design & Print Online templates to personalize, batch print, or create on-demand labels for many uses.

Who It's For

These labels are ideal for small businesses, online sellers, and home shippers who print their own mailing labels and need a dependable, large-format label that covers previous markings. They also suit event planners and makers who want large product or directional labels and appreciate inkjet-friendly sheets.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who only need very small address labels or who exclusively use laser printers; while the sheets are versatile, they are specially optimized for inkjet printing and sized as half-sheet labels rather than standard address labels.

Pros & Cons
