A visual example of what Ofnuts is saying.

Make a label in Gimp with a print resolution specified and MS Paint ignores the resolution (ppi) and uses whatever the default is (96). No good trying to change the size in Paint, it will scale down and you drastically lose quality.
Pasting into Paint and anything pasted will use that default ppi. Come to print from that and it will use that default ppi. Stop using MS Paint.
On the other hand, in Gimp if you start with an image and set the ppi to a quality value (say 300) for printing, anything pasted/opened/dragged-in will keep that quality value and other printing applications will use that setting.
The only caveate with Gimp is Windows printing is not always easy to set up. When it works it is ok for quality, but often picky about paper size etc. The usual advice is use something else for printing and for a Avery label template, the obvious is Word or equivalent.
