This Bullnose Label Strip and Productstop on Perforated Shelf exhibits a rough, ratty edge from in-store hand cutting. You can avoid the wasted time and effort of hand cutting, as well as insure a good final fit and finish. Fixture specification must take into account “Nominal” vs “True” size. A nominal size is a size in name only. It is a trade convention giving a simple size name for what may not be an even or easy to express “True” size. Making matters worse in label strip, the Nominal size may be the true size for some strip, and not for others. So confirm with your manufacturer, is this “Nominal” 4 foot strip, a “True” and full 48 inches long, or is the “True” dimension 47-7/8 inches … a small undersizing that might have better fit this shelf example. Don’t complicate matters by writing a bizarre, non-standard or overly complicated length spec yourself like 47-29/32 inches. Check you use for “True” length needed, and then check with the manufacturer on how to communicate this need to him, and order the correct sized fixture. Otherwise, order extra shears or hacksaw blades so your store staff can fix your error.
