Small dish tags for tapas and mezze
When every plate on a tapas spread is 3 inches across, a 5"×3" label overwhelms the dish. The 8371's 3.5"×2" footprint sits cleanly beside each small plate without dominating the table.
Avery® 8371 — 3.5"×2" business-card format
Avery® 8371 dish tags, 10 to a sheet, ready to print.
Avery® 8371 is the business-card sheet that every catering operation already buys in bulk — 10 per sheet, 3.5"×2", clean perforations. BanquetLabel repurposes those same sheets into professional dish tags for small plates, dietary markers, drink labels, and high-volume condiment bars. One sheet covers 10 items. A 30-dish buffet prints in three pages.

Use cases
What Avery® 8371 is best for.
Dietary markers at high-volume events
Print a quick allergen-only label for a dish that needs a separate callout — nuts, shellfish, gluten. At 10 per sheet you can run 40 dietary tags on 4 sheets without ever opening a design app.
Drink and cocktail labels
Tiki bar stations, wine tables, kombucha bars — the 8371 size tags individual bottles, pitchers, and dispensers cleanly. The same BanquetLabel menu flow generates drink labels with the same styling as the food cards.
Condiment bar labels
Mustard, aioli, chimichurri, hot sauce — condiment stations with multiple vessels look polished when every container carries a matching 8371 tag instead of a handwritten masking tape strip.
Dessert mini labels
Petit-four trays, macaron towers, and dessert buffet stations benefit from tags that match the scale of the pastry. The 3.5"×2" format is proportionate to a dessert plate, not a chafer tray.
High-volume catering operations
Hotel banquet teams running 3–5 functions per day already buy 8371 sheets by the case for business cards. The same stock in the same cabinet now also covers every catering label need.

Questions
FAQ — Avery® 8371
Will my home or office laser printer handle Avery® 8371?
Yes. Avery® 8371 sheets are letter-sized (8.5"×11") and feed through any standard laser or inkjet printer. The perforated business-card layout is optimized for exactly the kind of tray-fed desktop printers common in catering prep kitchens and event offices.
Do I need special paper or sheet feeder settings?
No special feeder or settings are required. Load the 8371 sheets face-up in a standard tray and print at 100% scale. If your printer has a card-stock or heavy-paper setting, use it — the thicker 8371 stock benefits from slightly higher fuser heat on laser printers to prevent peeling.
Can I print multiple dishes on one sheet?
Yes — 10 labels per sheet is the whole advantage of the 8371 format. BanquetLabel fills all 10 positions from your dish list automatically. A 50-item event covering food, drinks, and condiments fits on 5 sheets of paper.
What is the difference between Avery® 8371 and Avery® 5388?
The 8371 is a business-card-sized label — 3.5"×2", 10 per sheet — designed for compact tags on individual dishes, drinks, and condiment containers. The 5388 is a larger station-header label — 5"×3", 3 per sheet — designed for chafer-line cards and full buffet station headers. Use 8371 for high volume and small items; use 5388 when each label needs to carry more detail.
Does BanquetLabel adjust margins automatically?
Yes. BanquetLabel's PDF output is pre-calibrated to Avery® 8371 specifications — top margin, left margin, label pitch, and inter-label gutters are all fixed to the published Avery® template dimensions. Print at 100% scale and the labels land on the perforations every time.
