Item 5.  Other Events.

         On October 18, 2001, Multi-Color Corporation (the "Company") announced
that its Board of Directors had approved a three for two stock split, in the
form of a stock dividend, which will result in the issuance on November 30, 2001
of one additional share of the Company's common stock for every two shares of
common stock owned by stockholders of record as of the close of business on
November 16, 2001. No fractional shares will be issued; rather each holder who,
as a result of the dividend, would otherwise receive a fractional share of
common stock will be entitled to receive an equivalent amount of cash in lieu of
fractional shares.
