Free label maker vs Avery

Avery is great if you already bought their sheets. A free label maker vs Avery is the other job: custom thermal sizes, native barcodes, and a whole list from Excel without a seat. Keep Avery for the letter-size pack you already have.

When Avery is the right tool

You have Avery sheets. You want one pretty sticker, maybe a return address, printed on a laser. Their templates match the paper. Stay there.

When a free label maker wins

• Custom sizes in inches, not only their sheet grid
• CODE128, UPC, EAN, or QR that has to scan
• A guest list or SKU list from Excel
• A Zebra on the packing table
