I think, what David is suggesting, is that there's only one label reference, 
however big the label is, so if you cut in four, even if the reference of that 
label is still read, it will be the same reference and so you could only use 
that label for the same item(s), e.g., four cans of beans!

Please correct me, David, if I have your comments incorrect and also I'd be 
interested as to whether those large labels are four different ones, which just 
need to be cut, or are the same label!  <Smiles>

Hope someone understands me at this rather late hour!
