Avery Address labels for Christmas mailing

1. Labels that give you the perfect print

Avery Address Labels are designed to stand out from the crowd. Whether you use our new UltraGrip™ Laser Labels or our QuickDRY™ Inkjet Labels, you're sure to get a superb print quality every time.

Our laser mailing printer labels now come with UltraGrip™ technology. The 3D diamond shaped micro pattern on the blue bars, at the top and bottom of the label sheet, ensure perfect print alignment.

Our inkjet mailing labels come with our special QuickDRY™ promise, ensuring smudge free results with your inkjet printer so you can confidently apply the label straight onto your envelopes without any smudge marks from the printer.

2. FREE Christmas Label templates

Our FREE label creator, Avery Design & Print, not only allows you to design your Avery Labels but we also have an extensive Christmas design gallery so you can choose the perfect festive design for your labels. All the designs are free to use!

The designs can be applied to most Avery Label products so you can have matching address, returns address and even a sticker seal on your cards and parcels.

3. Mail merge for super quick label creation

As if good quality labels and free Christmas templates weren't enough, we have one last present up our sleeves!

In our Design & Print label creator software we have a special function called 'mail merge'. This neat little process allows you to import all your addresses from a speadsheet and applies them all in a matter of seconds to your chosen label design - no writing out individual addresses!

Using this feature can save you a bucket load of time, meaning you'll have plenty of time to post your cards and parcels.

We also have a mail merge step by step guide to show how you can use this feature in our Design & Print software.
