Mounted above head height for safety, these Strip Merchandiser mounts are made permanent and rigid by threaded fasteners. Installation would be time consuming. While merely hanging the Strip loosely from an upper upright hole is, to my mind, too easy to dislodge. My favorite Pallet Rack Merchandiser Strip hangs from a top hole, yet incorporates…
A happy box of crayons floats high to mark the end aisle location of crayons and back to school item specials. It would be hard to find a lower cost signage fixture, nor one more effective in catching the eye from a distance. SEARCH “Balloon” for other such applications . SEARCH “Silly” for lighthearted posts.…
There are many styles of Grid Hooks, but a two-piece straight entry style with plastic backplate on a 1″ Grid Power Wing of this style has been hitherto unheard of. The rationale of regular straight entry hook is to permit attachment in tight places, among fully loaded items on the display, and tight under overhangs…
Lack of UV-stabilizers results in yellow, brittle label strip. Here one has been badly shattered in normal use. Make sure your specifications are for quality label holders that include UV protection to extend use and lower the total life cycle cost of your fixturing … not to mention improve the look of the selling floor.…

An entry provided specifically to contrast the earlier “Bad Day in Beverage Aisle” post. This a minimalist made-to-order, single-unit wire divider system. It is a custom-from-stock variant because you get to choose lane width, divider height, front and back product stop details, and shelf mount style. The economical unit is then fabricated to suit your…
This Freestanding Pygmy Gondola In-Aisle Display projects a more substantial image than cheap temporary Point-of-Purchase units and carried a consistent theme across a number of aisles. They also implied an ongoing commitment to in-store promotions. Though very nicely manufactured and finished the shelf depths are a bit too massive for my visual taste and draw…
Two Endless Basket Keeper Solutions provide safely using Endless Basket atop existing, in-place Gondola shelf. Bottom left is a separate galvanized Keeper to prevent customers from accidentally shifting or pulling the fixture off the shelf. Right is an industry standard Pin-Up Hook which not only retains the Basket on the shelf, but can also be…
This example of an extruded Rounded Aluminum C-Channel is being added to fill out the posts on various styles of round-corner for End Cap and Gondola. My recollections of both steel and aluminum Tag Channel go as far back into my childhood as I can remember. So I cannot say personally which was the first and…
