Mounting routes

Select the correct attachment

Different fixtures need different profiles; one generic rail cannot reliably fit every shelf.

Flat adhesive data strips

Adhesive strips

Flat mounting for compatible clean surfaces.

Klick price holder profile

Clip-on profiles

Mechanical grip for defined shelf edges.

Shelf scanning rail

Scanning rails

Protect labels while supporting regular changes.

Promotional route

Add shelf talkers without hiding the price

Shelf talkers extend beyond the rail to carry campaign graphics, product highlights or aisle communication. Match the clip and sign size to the data strip and shopper sightline.

  • Snap-on talker cover
  • Flag or perpendicular sign
  • Printed promotional insert
  • Clear view of paper label or ESL
  • Replaceable campaign graphic

Profile and interface

Start with the shelf edge cross-section

The profile must grip, clip or adhere to the shelf while presenting the paper label at a readable angle.

  • Shelf edge shape and thickness
  • Label height and insert method
  • Viewing angle
  • Length, color and adhesive choice

Shelf fit guide

Choose by the mounting edge

The old page functions as a product directory. The redesigned guide adds the missing selection logic before customers enter individual products.

Data strip on metal shelf

Metal gondola shelf

Use snap-on, flip-up or adhesive profiles according to the edge.

Wire shelf label holder

Wire shelf or basket

Use a rail that grips the wire without twisting.

Flat adhesive data strip

Flat surface

Use self-adhesive data strips after checking the surface and length.

Custom extrusion

Develop a profile around the shelf

For non-standard edges, the extrusion route moves from section drawing and material selection to tooling, sample approval and repeat production.

  • Provide a shelf section drawing
  • Confirm PVC or alternative material
  • Approve color and transparency
  • Test grip and label insertion

Custom extrusion workflow

From shelf cross-section to repeatable rail

A clear development path helps customers understand what must be approved before a custom profile moves into volume production.

01

Capture the interface

Send a cross-section, dimensions or a physical shelf sample.

02

Develop the profile

Review grip, label height, viewing angle and material.

03

Build the tooling

Approve the drawing before extrusion tooling starts.

04

Sample and fit

Install the rail on the target shelf and test label changes.

05

Cut and pack

Confirm lengths, color, adhesive and protected packing.

Installed applications

See how the attachment changes by fixture

Metal shelf edges, wire baskets, glass shelves and flat surfaces need different retention methods even when they carry the same label.
