Classroom supply and tub labels
Labels for pencils, markers, scissors, glue, books and shared classroom tubs.
Lines up with real label sheets. The Avery sheet layouts (A4 L-codes for Australia, the UK and Europe, and US Letter codes) were measured from Avery's own templates, so each label prints in the right place on that sheet and on other brands' sheets sold as compatible with the same code. Print at 100% (Actual size), and try one page on plain paper first. makekite.com is printed only in a blank sheet margin, never on a label.
Which label sheet to use
This page starts on Avery L7165 (A4, 8 labels per sheet, each 99.1 × 67.7 mm) for A4 printers, or Avery 5163 (US Letter, 10 labels per sheet, each 4 × 2 in) if your browser is set to US English. You can switch to any other sheet, a thermal roll printer or cut-out labels in the Label sheet or printer menu, and the preview changes to match. Check the code printed on your packet of labels: sheets from other brands that say they are compatible with an Avery code use the same layout.
Printing in four steps
- Type your labels, one per line. Use | to start a new line inside the same label.
- Choose your sheet, then set the text size and picture size so each label looks as full as you like.
- If part of a sheet is already used, set Start at label to the first empty label.
- Print at 100% (Actual size), first on plain paper. Hold the test page against a label sheet up to the light, then print on the labels.

Using this page
Organising a classroom
Group supplies into tubs and label each one, so students can find and return items without help. Use large, clear text, and add a picture or a colour to help younger children. Tape a label on the front of the tub and one on the shelf where it belongs.
Making labels last
Print on sticky labels or laminate the sheet before cutting. Use the same colours across the room, for example blue for maths and green for art. Update the labels at the start of each term, and let the students help to name the tubs so that they feel a sense of ownership.
