How to choose the right ESL size for your shelves
Match label size to your shelf edges, your products and what you want each label to show.

Start with the shelf edge
Measure the height of your shelf-edge strips. Small labels from 1.3 to 1.8 inches fit standard grocery and pharmacy shelf edges and suit products with a narrow facing.
Decide what each label needs to show
A price and a product name fit on the smallest labels. If you want unit prices, promotions or more product detail, choose a larger size so the text stays easy to read.
Mix sizes where it makes sense
- Small labels for most of the store
- Larger labels for promotion bays and end caps
- Freezer models for frozen food
