Custom label sheet

Measure your sheet with a ruler or copy the numbers from the manufacturer's template. All values in millimetres.

Pitch = distance from the left (top) edge of one label to the left (top) edge of the next.

File folder labels are long and thin (about ⅔″ × 3-7/16″, 30 per sheet). A coloured bar on the left helps you colour-code categories, and bold text keeps the tab readable.

Put your folder names in one spreadsheet column, paste them into the Data tab and merge — 30 different folder labels per sheet.

Tips

  • Use one colour per category (finance, clients, HR…).
  • Put the year first for archive folders: “2026 — Invoices”.
  • 12 pt bold fits most folder tabs.
  • For binders, choose a larger spine label size.
