Avery 5366 in Google Docs, step by step
-
Fastest: use an aligned PDF
Google Docs has no built-in Avery 5366 layout. Type your text or paste your rows in the designer at the top of this page and download a PDF already aligned to the 30 positions of the 5366 sheet; open it and print at 100 %.
-
Set up the page in Docs
To build the 5366 layout in Docs, open a blank document and go to File › Page setup: paper size US Letter, margins top 0.5 in, bottom 0, left 0.531 in, right 0.531 in. The bottom margin stays at 0 on purpose: the 15 table rows already place every label, and the empty paragraph that always follows a table then fits in the 0.5 in below the last row instead of starting a blank second page.
-
Insert a 3 × 15 table
Use Insert › Table and draw the 5366 grid as 3 columns by 15 rows (2 label columns plus 1 narrow gap columns).
-
Size the cells exactly
Select the 5366 table and open Format › Table › Table properties (called Table options in newer versions). Column widths: 3.438 in, 0.563 in, 3.438 in. Minimum row height: 0.667 in for every row. Set cell padding to 0 and the table border to 0 pt so each 5366 cell is exactly one label.
-
Type within the label
Keep each cell to about 3 lines at 10 pt; Docs grows a row when text overflows and every 5366 label below it shifts down, and the last row can then push onto a second page.
-
Lists from Google Sheets
Docs cannot merge a spreadsheet into the 5366 table by itself; label add-ons exist in the Google Workspace Marketplace, or paste the rows from Sheets into LabelGrid's merge mode above.
-
Print 5366 at 100 %
Use File › Print or download a PDF, set US Letter paper and 100 % scale (not “fit to page”), and check a plain-paper test: the first 5366 row starts 0.5 in from the top.
Worked example: 20 shelf labels on 5366
One Docs table holds 30 Avery 5366 labels, so 20 labels fit in a single table, with 10 cells left empty. Paste a page break before each copy so every table starts at the top margin of 0.5 in.
In the LabelGrid designer the same 20 rows go into merge mode; the free version prints the first 30 (one full 5366 sheet) and Pro removes the limit. To reuse a part-used sheet, set the start position to the first empty label.
The Google Docs numbers for Avery 5366
| Page setup margins | top 0.5 in, bottom 0 (the sheet has 0.5 in), left 0.531 in, right 0.531 in |
|---|---|
| Table size | 3 columns × 15 rows |
| Column widths | 3.438 in, 0.563 in, 3.438 in |
| Minimum row height | 0.667 in for every row |
| Cell padding / border | 0 / 0 pt |
When 5366 labels print out of line in Google Docs
- A second, empty page appears after the 5366 table: Docs keeps a paragraph after every table and it cannot be deleted. Check File › Page setup: with the bottom margin at 0 (step 2) that paragraph fits in the 0.5 in below the last row; with a 0.5 in bottom margin it does not.
- Columns look right on screen but the 5366 labels print narrow: Docs may round widths; re-enter 3.438 in for each label column and check the page margins again.
- In Google Docs, 5366 labels that drift more the lower they are mean the page was scaled: at 97 % row 15, 10.5 in from the top, lands about 0.315 in off. Print at 100 %.
About the Avery 5366 sheet
Avery® 5366 (filing labels) has 30 labels of 2/3″ × 3 7/16″ per US Letter sheet. The same layout is sold under other Avery codes too (5066, 5166, 5266, 5268, 5368, 5378 and more), so these settings work for them as well.
Common jobs for 5366: file folder labels, binder spine labels, shelf labels and office labels. Avery® 5366 is named only to identify compatible sheets; LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an Avery 5366 template in Google Docs?
Not built in. Build a 3 × 15 table with the sizes above, use a label add-on, or download the aligned PDF from LabelGrid and print it.
What are the measurements of Avery 5366?
30 labels of 3.438 in × 0.667 in on US Letter, 2 across and 15 down. In Docs: page margins 0.5 in top and 0.531 in left, columns of 3.438 in.
Why do my 5366 labels from Google Docs drift down the page?
Either a row grew past 0.667 in because of extra text or the page was scaled; at 97 % the last row moves about 0.315 in. Print at 100 %.
Can I skip Google Docs entirely?
Yes. The LabelGrid designer at the top of this page is set to Avery 5366: type one label or paste a list and download a PDF aligned to all 30 positions, free and in your browser.
