Shelf Edge Labels and Price Labels for Shops
The DiscountTillRolls.ie TeamMost shops print shelf edge labels on a label printer and price individual items with a price gun. On Zebra printers, the 57x32mm perforated label is a popular shelf edge size. Brother QL users can print shelf strips of any length on 50mm continuous tape. For pricing items one by one, a price gun with 26x12mm labels is still the quickest option.
Clear shelf prices mean fewer "how much is this?" questions at the till, and fewer price disputes too.

Shelf edge labels
Printing shelf labels from your till or stock system means the shelf price always matches the till. Perforated labels tear off cleanly and sit neatly in a shelf edge strip.
Compatible with Zebra 800262-125, a popular shelf edge size.
If you use a Brother QL printer, DK-22223 50mm continuous tape lets you cut each label to the length you need. That is handy for long product names or promo strips.
Price gun labels
A price gun is still the fastest way to price a box of stock on the shop floor. Most single line guns take 26x12mm labels. Fluorescent orange labels are popular for sale prices because they stand out.
26x12mm single line labels that catch the eye.
Double line guns take a different label, so check yours first. Our price gun labels guide covers which label fits which gun.
Tips for tidy shelves
- Print shelf labels when prices change, not weeks later. Match the shelf and the till.
- Use one colour for offers. Customers learn to spot them quickly.
- Check price marking rules. Irish shops have rules on displaying prices, so check the CCPC guidance if you are unsure.
