Extruded label strips without UV stabilizers are prone to age and yellow quickly. Here a normally clear strip is as deep in yellow color as the snack packages it is meant to introduce. Aged or dirty fixtures detract from the selling environment. Would you buy food from a seemingly filthy, uncared for, sorry-looking store? Maybe there is a reason for the outrageously low price that overseas importer offered you on shelf edge strips? Maybe your label strip will end up looking like this? Investigate quality as well as price. And maybe you should do a store walk through every year to see how last year’s purchases are holding up?
