If you have ever stared at a box marked “30252” or “30334” and wondered what it actually prints, you are not alone. Dymo identifies its LabelWriter labels by part number rather than by size, which makes ordering confusing. This guide decodes the most common Dymo label sizes so you can match each roll to the job it does best and stop buying labels that don’t fit your workflow.
Why Dymo Uses Part Numbers
Every Dymo LabelWriter label is a die-cut thermal label on a roll. The part number tells your printer software the exact width, height, and label count, so the template lines up perfectly. When you select “30252” in Dymo Connect, the software already knows it is printing on a 1-1/8” x 3-1/2” label. Pick the wrong number and your text will run off the edge.
Address Labels: 30252, 30320, 30321 and 30330
Address labels are the most popular Dymo labels, and they come in a few sizes:
• Dymo 30252 – 1-1/8” x 3-1/2”, 350 labels per roll. This is the standard address label used in offices and home businesses. Our compatible Dymo 30252 address labels are the go-to choice for envelopes and mailers.
• Dymo 30320 – the same 1-1/8” x 3-1/2” size, but with 260 labels per roll. Many users order Dymo 30320 address labels because the smaller roll fits neatly into lower-volume setups.
• Dymo 30321 – 1-4/10” x 3-1/2”, 260 labels per roll. The extra height makes it Dymo’s large address label, ideal for four-line addresses or adding a logo. See our Dymo 30321 multipurpose labels.

How to Choose the Right Dymo Label Size
Start with the job, not the part number. Ask yourself three questions:
1. What surface am I labeling? Envelopes suit 30252, folders suit 30327, and small products suit 30336 or 30332.
2. How much text or code do I need? Barcodes and multi-line addresses need more height, such as 30334 or 30321.
3. How many labels do I use each week? High-volume users save time with rolls that hold 500 to 1,000 labels.
Finally, confirm your printer model. Standard LabelWriter models such as the 400 and 450 handle every size in this guide, while 4” wide shipping labels need a 4XL or 5XL.
