Print address labels for a few people or a whole slice of your sphere, ready for a mailer, a handwritten note, or a holiday card. Pick your contacts in People, choose your Avery sheet, and download your labels.
Grove only builds a label for a contact with a complete mailing address. Anyone missing part of their address is skipped, and Grove tells you who before you print.
Steps
1. Open People
Click the People icon in the left sidebar to open All People.
2. Select the contacts you want labels for
Check the box next to each person. The bar at the top shows your count, for example 3 of 8 People Selected.
To select everyone on the page, check the box in the header row.
3. Open Print Labels
In the selection bar, click the ⋯ (more) button, then click Print Labels.
4. Choose your label options
The Print labels window opens.
- Print by: choose Contact for one label per person, or Household for one label per household (for example, "Sarah & Mike Mitchell").
- Label type: pick the Avery sheet you're printing on.
- Start at row and Start at column: choose where the first label prints. Handy when you're finishing a sheet you've already used.
5. Pick your Avery sheet
The Label type list includes Avery 5159, 5160, 5161, 5162, 5163, 5164, 5167, and 5351, with sizes shown for each. Avery 5160 (1" x 2 5/8") is the standard 30-per-sheet address label.
6. Set your starting position, then click Next
Leave Start at row and Start at column at 1 for a fresh sheet. Click Next.
7. Review and download
The review screen shows what's about to print:
- A warning if any selected contacts have incomplete addresses. Click it to see who.
- Log contact activity, checked by default. Leave it on to record the mailing on each contact.
- How many mailing labels you've printed today.
- How many labels are ready to print.
Click Download. Grove saves a PDF laid out for the Avery sheet you picked.
8. Print at Actual Size
Open the PDF and print it on your label sheet. In your printer settings, choose Actual Size, not Fit to Page, so every label lines up.
Good to know
With Log contact activity on, each contact's Activity shows You printed mailing labels, so you can see at a glance who got the last mailer.
The review screen keeps a running count of labels printed today.
- Labels use each contact's Home address. Each label has three lines: name, street and suite, then city, state, and ZIP.
Household prints one label per household linked in Grove, with both names on the first line. People who share an address but aren't linked as a household get their own labels.
- You can print up to 1,000 contacts at a time.
- Need to change an option? Click Back on the review screen to return to label options.
Troubleshooting
"3 contacts have incomplete addresses" (or similar)
Click the warning to see each contact and what's missing: street, city, state/province, or postal/ZIP. Those contacts are skipped.
To fix it, open the contact, scroll to Properties, and click Home. Fill in the missing fields, then click Save. Run Print Labels again.
Download is grayed out and the screen says "0 labels ready to print"
None of the selected contacts have a complete mailing address. Add addresses as described above, or select different contacts.
