What is Cheshire Labeling?
One of the most common forms of addressing mail is the Cheshire label. Cheshire labels are formatted 33 labels per page and printed on plain white bond paper as a continuous form that is “fan folded” (accordion folded). They are output directly from a formatted file. — http://www.cjpw.com/addressing.htm Cheshire was actually the name of a company that invented a machine that converted ordinary wide continuous form computer paper into labels. It also put glue on the back of the label and affixed it to the mail piece! The labels are usually printed 4 across and 11 down on each sheet. Most labelers of this type are referred to as “Cheshire Labelers” even though a company not associated with Cheshire made the machine itself. The computer printed continuous form labels are commonly referred to as Cheshire labels. —

Sometimes specialty mail list houses will only supply their address list in Cheshire format. Also ask your mailer how many labels should be across the page. Normally it is 4 across…but sometimes it can be 5 across. When in doubt ask! Address N’ Mail supports 4 across Cheshire labels.
