Avery 5163 barcode labels (2″ × 4″, 10-up)

Avery 5163 is the large shipping / warehouse sticker: four inches wide, two inches tall, two across, five down, ten per Letter sheet. The extra height holds a taller barcode, a product name, a SKU, and a price without the collisions you get on 5160.

  • Label size 2.000″ × 4.000″, 2 × 5 on US Letter (10 labels).
  • Top margin 0.500″; side margin about 0.156″; horizontal gap 0.188″.
  • Comfortable for Code 128, UPC-A, EAN-13, and ITF-14 carton codes.
  • Use when 5160’s 1″ height clips your title or quiet zone.

Show on each label

If a whole sheet is shifted on your printer, nudge offset instead of stretching the PDF. Print at 100% scale, never “fit to page.”

Export

No watermark, no page cap. ZIP files use the current sticker size and include every field you turned on (name, SKU, price, custom) — not just the bars.

Add at least one valid barcode to export.

Paper & printer

This export is a Letter/A4 sheet. Have paper (and a laser) ready before you hit print.

When 5163 beats 5160

Handheld scanners in a garage warehouse, carton labels, and FBA 2×3-ish product stickers all benefit from a 2″-tall target. ITF-14 in particular wants bearer bars and a wide quiet zone — cramming it onto a 1″ address label is how people get no-reads. 5163 gives you 4″ of width, which is the difference between a scannable GTIN-14 and a compressed mess.

Grid used here

Page 8.5″ × 11″. Label 4.000″ × 2.000″. Two columns, five rows. Vertical pitch 2.000″ (no gap). Horizontal pitch 4.188″. If your wrapper lists 4.000″ × 2.000″ but a different side margin, open Custom size — do not stretch this PDF.

Print notes

Laser toner on 5163 stock is more forgiving than inkjet on glossy 8163 clones, but both still fail if the driver letterboxes the page. Export the multi-page PDF, set Letter, 100% scale. Ten labels per page means a 47-SKU CSV becomes five pages — there is no page cap.

Use 5163 for carton codes, garage-warehouse guns, and FBA units on poly bags that hated the 1″ 5160 height. Quiet zone still applies: four inches of width is not an invitation to run bars into the die-cut. ITF-14 in particular wants room; cramming it onto 5160 is a common no-read.

When not to use 5163

Tiny return tags, jewelry, and 80-up jobs belong on 5167 or a custom size. Address-label habits belong on 5160. A4 shops should look at L7163, not this Letter preset. Paper size is not a suggestion; the Letter vs A4 guide is the failure mode if you mix them.

Questions

FAQ

Is 5163 the same as a 2×4 shipping label?

Yes, in the Avery numbering. Some clones say “10-up 2×4 shipping.” Confirm the side margin; cheap packs sometimes indent more than 0.156″.

Can I put a logo on 5163?

Yes. The optional header logo sits in the top margin when it is tall enough, and 5163’s 2″ label also has room for a small mark beside the title if you keep the barcode height slider from maxing out.

Is my inventory/SKU data uploaded anywhere?

No. LabelStack runs entirely in your browser. CSV files, product names, SKUs, FNSKUs, and generated barcodes are parsed, validated, and rendered on your device. Nothing is posted to a server — there is no account and no backend that could store your catalog. You can confirm this in the network panel: generating and exporting never sends your rows anywhere. That is the point of the tool. Sellers who currently paste inventory into hosted generators are handing over supplier lists and Amazon FNSKUs; this site is built so we never see them.

What label sheet sizes are supported?

Presets include Avery 5160 (1" × 2.625", 30-up), Avery 5163 (2" × 4", 10-up), Avery 5167 (0.5" × 1.75", 80-up), plus 5161, 5162, 5164, 8160, Amazon FBA 30-up and 2×3 in, and A4 sizes L7160, L7163, and L7651. Each preset uses the published page size, label size, margins, and gutters so a desktop laser or inkjet lands on the actual sticker grid. If you use a house brand or a European size that is not listed, choose Custom size and enter width, height, columns, rows, and margins in inches. Letter vs A4 is a different page box — read the paper-size guide before printing a US PDF on A4 stock.

Is there a limit on how many barcodes I can generate?

No. There is no row cap, no page cap, and no watermark on PDF or ZIP exports. The only limit is your browser’s memory. Thousands of rows are parsed in chunks so the tab stays responsive; the sheet preview shows one page at a time while export walks the full set. If you generate tens of thousands of labels, leave the tab open until the PDF or ZIP finishes — it still never leaves your machine.

Why is this free?

LabelStack is a client-side tool with no servers to rent for your data. Optional advertisements on the page (never on the PDF, never over the download button) are how the lights stay on once the publisher network accepts the site. There is no paid tier because the product is the browser app: generate, layout, export. If ads are blocked, the generator still works. We also publish original guides because a tool without the print-alignment and symbology context is how people reprint a hundred bad stickers.
