Color Plate Guide


Plates are available for multi-colored labels. How the plates can be made depend on several factors such as:
  • The size of the label
  • The number of colors
  • Label design and layout
  • Chase size

The following is an example of how a plate is designed for the label above. The label length is 2 inches. The colors were seperated and moved apart by 2 inches (the label length) so the foil can easily be placed under the appropriate part of the plate. The distance bewteen the PRINT on the plate cannot be longer than the length of the chase on YOUR machine. Donwalt chases come in 3 sizes: 3 inches, 4 inches, and 5 inches. The plate shown below will fit on a 3 inch chase or larger.
