Print Avery address labels

You can print Avery address labels using two programs - E-Z Contact Book and Avery software.
This can be done in 3 steps:

I. Create a Tag for the mailing list in E-Z Contact Book
II. Export contacts from E-Z Contact Book
III. Design and print labels using 'Avery Print Online'

  1. Create a new tag, for example Mailing List.

  1. Select the contacts you want to print the address labels for. You can choose from your groups or ALL CONTACTS list by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on each contact individually. Alternatively, multiple entries by clicking one and using the Shift key while scrolling.

  2. Once the desired contacts are selected (highlighted), right-click and choose Add/Remove Tag. Then select the tag name from the submenu to assign this tag to all of the selected entries. Learn more about using tags.

  1. Navigate to the Tags tab and review the tag content to ensure it includes all necessary contacts
    • You can tag contacts from multiple groups
    • Use separate tags for business and personal contacts since their addresses belong to different data fields


II. Export contacts from E-Z Contact Book

  1. Select the tag you created in step I
  2. Select all the contacts you want to print labels for (Ctrl + A to select all)
  3. Click the button on the tool bar, and choose Export Avery Mail List for selected contacts
  4. Review the addresses in the following dialog and filter them if necessary
  5. Click Export and save the .CSV file in an easily accessible location

Tip: Give the file a meaningful name, such as Mailing-List-201N.csv
