Answer

I want to put name on the adress line.
Into means to be inside of something.  My foot goes into my shoe.
On means to be on top of something.  My foot is on the ground.

Answer

It is more common for most people to say on the address line but there shouldn't be a problem saying into the address line I believe I have heard into the address line by native speakers a few times.
