Printing on perforated cards

Shelf Talker can print your 3x5 shelf talkers on perforated cards, so you tear them apart instead of cutting.

Please pick this exact product. Layouts differ between Avery products, and Shelf Talker lines your shelf talkers up with the perforations on 5388.

What a sheet looks like

Avery 5388 sheet A letter-size page in portrait with three 5 by 3 inch landscape cards stacked in one column. Dashed perforation lines separate the cards, and shaded strips at the top and bottom of the page are not used. Card 1 Card 2 Card 3
Three 5″ x 3″ cards per 8.5″ x 11″ sheet. Dashed lines are the perforations.

How to print

  1. In the app, choose Avery 5388 under “What are you printing on?”.
  2. Print at actual size (100%), not “Fit to page”, so each shelf talker lands on its card.
  3. Load the sheet the way your printer’s instructions describe for cardstock.
