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 supply size. Then

divide the supply into an equal number of printable parts.

2. Working on the left-most part of the tag, draw the fields,

showing font size, field length, and rotation.

3. Mark the start (horizontal/vertical) location 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.
