Measure the shelf, the strip and the label separately

Measure the usable section of shelf where the strip will sit. Note breaks, brackets, end features or other obstructions. If several shelf lengths are involved, list each required length with its own quantity rather than combining everything into one total.

For replacement work, measure the existing strip as well as the shelf. A strip may have been cut shorter than the available run, so explain which measurement describes your preferred result. Use millimetres consistently throughout the brief.

Take a clear photograph looking along the end of the strip. This view helps reveal folds, lips, clips and attachment points that disappear in a front photograph. Include a ruler beside the part without covering the feature you want to show.

• Overall height or width of the profile.
• Relevant shelf-edge thickness or wire diameter.
• Depth and shape of any locating lip or track.
• Position of adhesive or attachment features, if visible.

Measure the actual paper or card label separately. State whether the design must work with an established label template and whether easy replacement is important to the application. Springlok can use these details to check the proposed product rather than relying on an assumed ticket size.

For uncertain profiles, a physical sample or a dimensioned sketch may be more informative than additional photographs. Include the quantity, colour and destination when submitting the measurements.
