Overview

These die-cut labels let an installer or homeowner custom-label each button on a Simply Automated multi-button faceplate using any text, font, or icons — even a background color or pattern to match the room decor or switch color. Each sheet contains die-cut labels for all Simply Automated multi-button faceplates. To print black, brown, or other dark background colors, use the white Label Kit (model ZLK-01-W). Downloadable Microsoft Word and Publisher templates are available at www.Simply-Automated.com/templates.
