Diwali gift and sweets box labels
Gift tags and sweets box labels for Diwali: names, wishes and a line for the sender.
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 L7163 (A4, 14 labels per sheet, each 99.1 × 38.1 mm) for A4 printers, or Avery 5162 (US Letter, 14 labels per sheet, each 4 × 1⅓ 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
Gifts and sweets boxes
Write a greeting such as Happy Diwali or Shubh Deepavali, and add the names of the giver and the family it is for. Stick the label on a box of sweets, a diya set or a gift bag. Gold, orange and red labels suit the festival colours. Print a few extra for neighbours and colleagues you decide to include at the last minute.
Sharing sweets
If sweets contain nuts, milk or other common allergens, note this on the label for the people receiving them. Use clean, food-safe containers, and store sweets as the recipe suggests. A handwritten note adds a personal touch.
