Clip-on or adhesive: which label holder should you enquire about?
Both approaches can support shelf-edge pricing, but they rely on different attachment details. Choose around the fixture and application rather than treating one mounting method as suitable for every shelf.

Adhesive fixing: check the contact surface 01When considering an adhesive profile
Describe the contact surface, finish and environment. An adhesive-backed holder needs the right surface and adhesive specification.
Details to include in your enquiry
An adhesive holder needs an appropriate contact surface and an adhesive specification suited to the application. Describe the shelf material, surface finish and operating environment in your enquiry. Mention any existing adhesive residue or cleaning products that may affect the proposed installation.
Ask Springlok to confirm the preparation and fitting instructions for the quoted product. Do not select an adhesive solely because another supplier uses it on a visually similar profile.

Clip-on profile: compare the actual attachment 02When considering a clip-on profile
Compare the attachment shape with the shelf lip or track. Send an end-view photograph, thickness measurements or an existing sample.
Details to include in your enquiry
A clip-on holder depends on the relationship between its attachment shape and the shelf edge or track. Side-profile photographs, relevant thickness measurements and a sample of the existing component can help establish that relationship.
The outside dimensions of the label holder are only part of the fit. The locating lip, opening and contact points also matter, particularly when replacing components across fixtures from different sources.

Consider everyday use and ticket changes 03Compare the complete requirement
Explain how often prices change, whether holders need to move and whether your stores have more than one shelf type.
Details to include in your enquiry
Consider how often labels change, whether holders may need to move, and whether the display includes several shelf types. These are useful selection questions, not a promise that any profile will perform in every situation.
- Identify each fixture type and its quantity.
- Provide label dimensions and required strip lengths.
- Describe ambient or chilled use and cleaning conditions.
- Request fit confirmation or a sample review where needed.

A sample and a clear written requirement 04Keep the quotation specific
Keep the chosen profile, sizes, colour, quantities and mounting notes together so the quotation answers the actual requirement.
Details to include in your enquiry
Use the product enquiry notes to explain the mounting requirement. Springlok can then quote against a defined brief, with any compatibility questions resolved before the final product selection.
