how label holder systems work

It’s simple: Slide your price tag or info card into the Data Strip. When you need to change prices or switch products, just swap the card, don’t need to re-sticking tags one by one. It keeps shelves tidy and saves your staff time.

find the right price strip in 3 simple steps

Choosing a Data Strip doesn’t require guessing; just follow these simple steps. This section uses 3 easy, no-nonsense steps to help you accurately find the perfect Data Strip based on your shelf type, installation preferences, and actual usage needs—whether you’re setting up a small retail shop or a large warehouse.

how to choose

identify your shelf type

First, check what your shelves are made of; this step ensures you pick a strip that attaches securely without damaging your surfaces. Metal shelves (like supermarket gondolas) work best with magnetic or clip-on strips. Wood or glass shelves pair well with clip-on or self-adhesive options (to avoid sticky residue that’s hard to remove). Wire shelves (such as warehouse racks or produce baskets) need wire-specific or hanging strips for a tight, slip-proof fit.

choose your mounting style

Don’t want glue or leftover marks? Pick clip-on or magnetic strips; they attach easily and can be moved later. Need a fast, hassle-free install? Go for self-adhesive strips—just peel off the back and press firmly. For cold rooms or fridges, hanging strips work best since regular glue weakens in low temperatures and might peel off over time.

define your label strip needs

Want clear visibility for your tags? Choose transparent plastic; it keeps prices and product info easy to read without distracting from your goods. Need a specific color (like your brand color)? We can customize it to match your store’s look and boost brand recognition. Need a specific length? We cut it to your exact shelf size (e.g., 300mm, 1200mm) so there’s no wasted material and a perfect fit every time.

still unsure? we're here to help!

Tell us your shelf type and how you’ll use the strips (e.g., “small convenience store wood shelves” or “large warehouse wire racks”). Our team has years of experience supporting retail and warehouse needs, and we’ll suggest the right option with no charge and no obligation.

custom data strips for your business

If the standard Data Strip fails to meet your needs, such as matching your brand’s unique color, fitting extra-long shelves or adapting to special label sizes, we’ve got you covered with flexible customizations. Whether you need strips that align with your store’s brand look or ones that fit non-standard shelf lengths, our team can tailor them to your exact requirements.

custom colors & sizes

We can make Data Strips in any color you want. You can choose a shade that matches your brand’s signature hue, pick a bright color to stand out on busy shelves, or stick with classic clear for a low-key look. For sizes, we don’t just cut to your shelf length (e.g., 300mm, 1200mm). We also adjust label heights (like 30mm or 40mm) to fit your price tags or info cards perfectly, so there’s no awkward overhang or too-tight fit.

MOQ & bulk order shipping

Our minimum order (MOQ) for custom Data Strips is 3,000 pieces. This quantity is ideal for bulk needs like supermarket chain setups, warehouse restocks or retail store expansions. Bulk orders ship from Shanghai or Ningbo ports, which are major international hubs. This means faster customs clearance and on-time delivery, whether you’re based locally or overseas. We also assign a dedicated contact to update you on shipping progress, so you always know when your strips will be ready for your store.
