  • How much do Electronic Shelf Labels cost?

    The price of electronic shelf labels are determined by a number of factors such as size, quantity and fixed attachments.

    Size: In general, the electronic shelf labels’ cost increases as the size gets larger. To work out what size is suitable for your shelves, you can discuss with us about what information are required to be displayed. For best results, you’d want a suitable size to contain all the important information so that it can be read with ease. Larger electronic shelf labels are usually selected when there’s a need to display more information or display the pricing in large letters. If products are densely packed, smaller labels would be preferable. In this case, customers often choose the option to split the standard labels in half, halving the required number of labels for a store, saving the cost and space.

    Quantity: Just like purchasing most inventories, the higher the quantity the lower the price per label. Most retailers would pilot the technology in one or a few stores then purchase all the electronic shelf labels they need for the remaining stores in one order if the pilot is successful.

    Fixed attachments: Shelf racks built for the electronic shelf labels are used to secure the labels onto a shop’s shelving system. The cost would increase as the required quantity of shelf racks increases. In general, the attachments would cost 5-10% of the value of the electronic shelf labels.
