Designing a Multiple Part Tag

You may want the same data to print more than once across
the width of a tag. You might use a two-or three-part tag when
a tag is divided in half or in thirds. This section uses a two-part
tag as an example.

When you design a multiple part tag, you lay out only the
left-most section. The printer repeats the design across the
tag automatically.

There are four steps in creating a multiple part tag on your
supply layout.

1. Prepare a Supply Layout, outlining the desired supply size.

Then divide the supply into an equal number of printable
parts.

Working on the left-most part of the tag:

2. Draw in the fields, showing font size, field length and

rotation.

3. Mark the start (horizontal/vertical) location points of each

field.

4. Record the elements of your design for each field.

The following section uses these four steps in the design of a
sample two-part tag.
