Data Strips

What Are Data Strips?

Data strips, also known as price holders, shelf strips or ticket holders, are plastic label holders that attach to the front edges of retail shelving. They are used to display pricing, barcodes, product descriptions and promotional labels.

These strips either clip onto the shelf or stick securely with self-adhesive backing. They keep vital product information accessible to customers, creating a clean, professional appearance.

Why Use Data Strips in Your Store?

Data strips help streamline shelf labelling across your business, from fitting out a new store to upgrading your existing display systems.

They provide many benefits for retail shelf management:

• Clearly show pricing and product details at eye level
• Allow for fast price changes and seasonal promotions
• Keep shelves tidy and labels consistent
• Avoid labels attached directly to products
• Improve customer experience by helping shoppers locate information quickly.

They're ideal for retail environments where clarity, speed and presentation matter.
