Align typography or custom designs precisely onto pre-perforated Avery 5371, 8371, 8871 (Letter) or C32011 (A4) sheets.
Step 1: Select your Avery sheet number
Build clean contact cards inside the workspace or upload 3.5 × 2 inch art tuned for clean micro-perforated edges.

Avery mode eliminates trim gutters between touching rows and columns (0 mm gap) matching flush micro-perf seams.
Align the layout to the sheet

Step 3: Check the grid against the sheet
Verify design margins sit well inside flush edges—light backgrounds protect cleanly against micro-perforated tear drift.
Step 4: Download the PDF and print
Export 100% exact PDF coordinates and test on ordinary copy paper held behind an Avery pack before feeding stock.
