Price tag moldings put your prices where shoppers actually look, right on the front edge of the shelf. We carry two main kinds. Slip-in moldings have a channel, so you slide your price tags and labels straight in. Stick-on moldings have an adhesive back and go on whatever surface you have. Either way, the shelf ends up looking clean, and people can find what they came for without hunting. They take sturdy reusable vinyl labels and cheap paper tags equally well. Which style works best usually comes down to the shelving you own, so we sorted everything by shelf type below.
Start with the shelf, not the strip. If you know what your shelving is, the right molding is usually obvious.
Gondola shelving is the most common, and it has two good options. Our price tag moldings with promo grip hold a 1.25-inch label and also grip a small promo sign. The price channel price tag moldings are the simpler choice for standard shelves in stores and warehouses.
Wire shelving needs something that clips on. Metro wire shelving price tag moldings snap onto the front of metro-style wire shelves. For wire baskets and fences, the wire fence and basket price tag moldings turn the wire itself into a pricing spot.
Coolers are harder on labels. The cooler wire shelf price tag molding is made to handle the cold, and the dairy freezer label solutions give dairy and frozen cases a place for product info.
If none of that fits, adhesive price tag molding sticks to most flat surfaces. Shelves, walls and storage bins all work, and it helps when a clip-on style simply will not go on.
Think about how often the price changes. Vinyl labels last, so they suit everyday prices. Paper labels and tags are easier to swap, which makes them better for sales and promotions. Many of our moldings hold labels 1.25 inches high, so measure yours before ordering. That one number saves a lot of returns.
You will see these strips in supermarkets, convenience stores, malls, pantries and warehouses. Anywhere shelves need to say what an item is and what it costs, a molding does the job.
The strip is only part of a good shelf. If you want to tidy the whole aisle, our post on best practices for effective shelf management in retail is a good place to start. And if you are pairing related products, see how to use shelf strips for cross-merchandising.
What is a price tag molding?
It is a strip that runs along the front edge of a shelf and holds a price tag or label at shopper height. Many of ours have a clear lens over the label so it stays clean and readable, and you can swap the ticket whenever the price changes.
What is the difference between slip-in and stick-on price tag moldings?
Slip-in moldings have a channel, and you slide the label in. Stick-on moldings attach with adhesive. If you change tickets a lot on a normal shelf edge, slip-in is easier. If the surface will not take a clip-on strip, go with stick-on.
Which price tag molding fits gondola shelving?
The promo grip moldings and the clear protective lens shelf strips are made for Lozier and Maddix gondola shelving, and both hold 1.25-inch labels. Check your shelf brand and label height first. If you are not sure, ask our team before you order.
Can I use price tag moldings in coolers and freezers?
Yes. The cooler wire shelf moldings and dairy freezer label solutions are meant for refrigerated shelving. Pick by shelf type, because double wire cooler shelves and dairy or freezer shelves each use a different style.
Can I order price tag moldings in bulk?
Yes, bulk and wholesale orders are welcome, which helps if you are outfitting several stores or a warehouse. Call (800) 494-2903, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with your quantities. Most items ship the same day.
