CREATING SYMBOLS

The Symbol Tool

The Symbol Tool is used for creating safety or facility identification labels. Common applications for these types of labels include pipe marking and safety hazard signs. Most often these types of labels will require continuous tape label media. Symbols may also be used on die cut label media, such as self-laminating labels or heat shrink markers. However, for die cut label media the symbol size will be restricted by the physical size of the labels.
