Abstract 1. A composite die for providing designs on synthetic plastic material provided with a plurality of similar designs in printed form which are located adjacent one another, comprising a carrier member having an exposed surface; a plurality of individual die members each having one face in contact with said surface, and another face provided with a design which corresponds to one of the printed designs; and connecting means connecting each die member with said carrier member with freedom of adjustment of the position of the respective die member on said surface, so that the position of the design on the respective die member may be varied in dependence upon, and to compensate for, dimensional changes of the synthetic plastic material resulting in out-of-registry movement of respective ones of the printed designs with which the designs of the respective die members are intended to register.
