Add Avery templates to Contacts

It's that time of year again -- is it possible to add Avery templates (not orig. included) to Apple Contacts? I haven't been able to figure out a way, or a template from Avery. The one I want to add is 6543. Thanks!

Not possible. Those Avery templates are compiled into either a Contacts shared library, or some obscure database. Avery does provide the 6543 as a downloadable template (.doc) and you may be able to open it in Word and perform a Mail merge from an Excel spreadsheet.


Although LibreOffice v6.3.3.2 can open this template, and then attempt to build a spreadsheet from the Apple Contacts application, it repeatedly crashes so this is not an answer until it is fixed.
