Half-page station sign5.5" × 8.5"2 per sheetWhen the whole station needs a name. Print on regular letter paper and cut in half. Also great for plated dinner menu cards.
Full-page station sign8.5" × 11"1 per sheetFor larger stations guests need to spot from across the room. Great for bar signage or action stations.

The two station formats are plain-paper signs rather than Avery® products — they carry no Avery® code and need no special stock, just the letter paper already in the printer.

Pair it with a holder. Each format suits a different stand — place-card holders for the 3.5"×2", slant-backs for the 5"×3", upright frames for the two portrait sizes. See what fits each label size.

Choose your format. BanquetLabel handles the layout.

Common questions about food labels for events

Where can I get free food labels for events?
Here — 30-day free trial, no credit card. Most results for that search are blank PDFs: a grid of empty boxes you still fill in dish by dish. BanquetLabel works the other way round. Paste your menu or upload the file you already have, pick a design, and the labels come back written and sized to the sheets you own. You can generate and download as many as you need for the full 30 days without entering a card. After the trial, plans start at $29/month.
Can I reuse my labels for the next party?
Yes. Every menu is saved to your account and edits save as you go, so the next party starts from the last one rather than from a blank page. Open the saved menu, swap the two dishes that changed, pick the same design or a different one, and reprint — it takes seconds rather than another evening of typing.
Do the labels work with card holders?
Yes. Every format prints on standard letter sheets and drops straight into the card holders and label stands catering suppliers sell — the 4.25"×5.5" and 3.5"×5" sizes are the usual fit for a table stand. Which holder suits which size is a question of its own, and BanquetLabel keeps a size-by-size guide to it. If you would rather skip holders entirely, print the half-page station sign as a fold tent — it is laid out around a centre crease and stands on its own. See what fits each label size.
