Print Options
Popular Formats & Styles:
- Standard Flat Shelf Inserts: Designed to slide directly into standard 39mm scan strips (Data Strips) along the edge of the shelf.
- Folded/Flanged Shelf Talkers: Features a pre-scored vertical fold and adhesive tape, allowing the promotional tab to drop down or stand out at a 90-degree angle from the shelf edge.
- Custom-Shaped Shelf Wobblers: Connected to a flexible, clear plastic arm with self-adhesive tape, causing the printed tag to gently bounce and catch the light as customers walk past.
Standard & Bespoke Sizes:
- Standard Track Inserts: 39mm height x custom widths (e.g., 100mm, 150mm, 200mm).
- Promotional Tabs: A6, A7, or custom dimensions.
- Bespoke contour-cut shapes (such as circles, stars, or logo outlines) are fully supported.
Premium Materials & Stocks:
- 350gsm / 400gsm Premium Silk Card: Sturdy, heavy-duty card stock that sits perfectly flat and crisp.
- Tear-Proof Synthetic / PP Media: Completely waterproof, wipeable, and virtually indestructible—ideal for chilled food cabinets, freezer aisles, or garden centres.
Protective Finishing & Laminations:
- Matt Lamination: For an elegant, sophisticated, non-reflective matte finish that eliminates harsh glare from in-store overhead lighting.
- Gloss Lamination: For maximum colour vibrancy, creating high-contrast graphics that pop on the shelf.
Artwork
To ensure your talkers slot smoothly into your store’s existing shelving tracks or clip lines, accurate file setup is vital:
-
Double-Check Your Shelf Track Dimensions: Retail data strips can vary slightly. Please measure the height of your plastic shelving tracks before finalizing your artwork sizes (standard tracks are usually 39mm).
-
Include a Folds/Score Layer: If your design features a folded flange or attachment lip, please indicate the fold line using a clear dashed line on a separate, labeled layer in your file.
-
Bleed & Safe Zone: * Include a standard 3mm bleed on all outer edges of your PDF pages to avoid unsightly white margins when cut.
-
Keep all critical text, sale prices, and barcodes at least 4mm away from the trim and fold lines.
-
-
File Format & Resolution: Please supply your final artwork as a high-resolution, press-ready PDF. Ensure all graphics are 300dpi and exported in CMYK colour mode for crisp, highly legible text.
