How to choose a price indicating strip

Begin with the physical shelf and the information customers need to read. A few clear measurements and photographs make it easier to identify a suitable profile and prepare a useful quotation.

  1. Flat shelf face, rolled shelf lip and wire basket with three different price-holder fixings

    01

    Identify the mounting surface

    Look at the shelf from the side. Identify a flat face, shaped lip, wire edge or existing track before choosing the fixing.

    Details to include in your enquiry

    Look at the shelf edge from the side as well as the front. Record whether it has a flat face, a shaped lip, a wire edge or an existing track. These details help distinguish between adhesive profiles, clip-on options and holders that depend on a particular attachment.

    If you are replacing a strip, photograph both the fitted product and a loose section. Include the fixture make or model if you know it. Do not assume that two profiles with similar front faces attach in the same way.

  2. Strip length, a separate paper label and a short profile measured with rulers and calipers

    Separate the measurements

    Record strip length, outside profile dimensions and printed label size separately. They are different measurements.

    Details to include in your enquiry

    Record the strip length, the outside profile dimensions and the size of the printed label as separate items. Catalogue width is not automatically the same as the usable label height. If the label must fit an existing print template, attach an example or its dimensions.

    • Measure the usable shelf run, including any interruptions.
    • Show the attachment shape and relevant edge thickness.
    • Note whether one continuous strip or several shorter pieces are needed.
  3. Shelf-edge label holders in a chilled display while a staff member cleans the shelf

    Explain the operating conditions

    Tell us where the holder will be used and how the shelf is cleaned. Material, adhesive and temperature suitability need confirmation.

    Details to include in your enquiry

    Tell Springlok whether the fixture is in an ambient aisle, a chilled display or another environment. Describe cleaning routines and any handling concerns so suitability can be checked. Material, adhesive and temperature requirements should be confirmed for the particular product.

    Finish the brief with colour, quantity, delivery destination and required date. For a large rollout, request a sample assessment before finalising the full specification.
