FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about shelf strips, data strips, and our products.

What is a shelf strip?

+

A shelf strip (also called a data strip or price tag holder) is a clear PVC or plastic channel that attaches to the front edge of retail shelving. It holds price tags, product information labels, and barcodes in a clear protective pocket, keeping them visible, organised, and protected from damage.

What sizes do your PVC data strips come in?

+

Our clear PVC data strips are available in 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, and 50mm heights. Length is custom-cut to your exact shelf dimensions — we don't sell fixed lengths, so you get a perfect fit every time with no waste.

How are the shelf strips installed?

+

We offer two mounting options: adhesive-backed (peel and stick onto flat shelf fronts) and snap-fit (clips onto standard gondola shelf channels). Snap-fit installation requires no tools and can be done in minutes. Our team can also arrange installation for large rollouts.

Do you deliver across South Africa?

+

Yes, we deliver nationwide. From Cape Town to Musina, Durban to Upington — we ship to every corner of South Africa. Standard delivery takes 3-5 business days, and express options are available for urgent orders.

Can I get custom colours or branding on my shelf strips?

+

Absolutely. We can manufacture shelf edge profiles and label holders in custom colours to match your store branding. We also offer custom-printed data strips with your store logo or colour coding for different departments.

What is the minimum order quantity?

+

There is no minimum order quantity. Whether you need strips for a single shelf or a national rollout across hundreds of stores, we can accommodate your order.

How long does a typical order take?

+

Most orders are manufactured and dispatched within 3-5 business days. Custom colours or bespoke solutions may require additional lead time. We'll confirm your delivery timeline when we provide your quote.

Do you offer freezer-grade shelf strips?

+

Yes, we offer freezer-grade label holders specifically formulated to withstand low temperatures. These remain flexible and clear even in cold sections, ensuring your pricing stays readable in frozen food aisles.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

+

Yes, we can provide samples of our standard products. Contact our sales team with your requirements and we'll arrange for samples to be sent to you.

Are you a South African manufacturer?

+

Yes, all our products are designed, engineered, and manufactured at our facility in Germiston, Gauteng. We are a proud division of the 3JS Group, a South African company with over 30 years in the industry.
