Avery offers labels in a staggering variety of sizes but sometimes as a graphic designer I need to move beyond the more popular dimensions of pre-cut labels and produce a label that's truly unique either in size, shape or both. And that's why I use 5165. With a metal straight edge and a craft knife (or free-hand with scissors if you're more adventurous) you can create one-of-a-kind labels with 5165 that will stand the test of time. I say that because some of the labels I've created with it date back to before my son was 10 years old... he's 28 as I write this review and those labels are still 'on the job' if you get my drift. I could go on about this particular Avery product but instead recommend that you consider it the next time you want to label 'out side the box' as it is defined by the cut edge of popular or standard label sizes. The finish of 5165 is always consistent and not once has a label I've created with it ever failed to perform as expected.
They worked out great! Just what I was looking for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So. Much. Waste.

I bought these labels (box of 100) because I ship a lot to friends and family. I use the USPS click and ship, one of these days I'll break down and invest in their label system. But for now, I thought these would be great. NO! The ones previous were awesome, but Avery changed them. Now they get caught in the printer's feeder and only print half the label – repeatedly. I know "The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results," but hey, I'm nothing if not consistent. I have wasted more ink, more labels, and gotten more frustrated than I can even say. I finally had to sit down and write this review after trying to print an express mail label seven times before I finally printed it on plain paper and taped it down with shipping tape. Ugh! Unless you're going to use these for hand printing some other project – run, don't walk, away from these labels.
And just a note, I have a relatively new HP photo printer; it's not the printer.
Response from avery.comBy Avery Consumer Care, December 20, 2021
We are sorry to hear you had trouble printing your labels. We do have a few recommendations for settings that can be helpful. We would suggest selecting a thicker paper type such as Label, Heavyweight, or Photo and changing the quality setting to Best or High Quality to help the printer with feeding the sheets. If you still have trouble, please reach out to our Care Team at avery,com/contact or call us at 800-462-8379 and we would be happy to help
I'm good with Avery, 20 year users. No brainer, no competition, just reliability. That's what struggling businesses need, efficient, reliability with quality.
