How to make price tags in 3 steps

1. 1

   Choose the size and the design

   Shelf labels, hang tags, price cards or half-page sale signs, in one of three designs and six ink colours, with your shop name and logo if you like.

2. 2

   List your items

   Type each item’s name and price, and how many tags it needs. Add a size or details, a “was” price for sale items, a unit price or a SKU when you have them.

3. 3

   Print and cut

   Print at actual size, on card stock if you can, and cut along the dashed lines. The rest of the last page can be blank tags to fill in by hand.

What to put on a price tag

• The item’s name, and the size, weight, color or flavor when there is more than one
• The price, large enough to read at arm’s length
• For sale items, the old price, struck through, next to the new one
• The unit price (price per ounce, pound, 100 g or item) when shoppers compare sizes
• A SKU or code, if you track stock or ring items up by code
• Your shop name or logo, on hang tags that leave the shop with the item

Shelf label, hang tag, price card or sign?

• Shelf labels, 24 per page: about 2.6 × 1.3 inches, for the edge of a shelf or a bin. Name on the left, price on the right.
• Hang tags, 16 per page: about 2 × 2.6 inches, with a small circle to punch for a string or a tagging gun. Good for clothing, crafts and gifts.
• Price cards, 8 per page: about 3.9 × 2.6 inches, to stand in front of baked goods, plants or a table at a market. The default.
• Sale signs, 2 per page: about 7.9 × 5.2 inches, for a window, an end cap or a sale rack.
• Sizes are for US Letter paper with a 0.3 inch margin; on A4 they are a little narrower and taller.

Sale prices and unit prices

In the United States, the FTC’s Guides Against Deceptive Pricing say a “was” price is fair to show when it is the actual price the item was openly offered at, on a regular basis, for a reasonably substantial period, recently, honestly and in good faith. A made-up “was” price, set only so the sale price looks like a bargain, is what the guides warn against (16 CFR 233.1). Many states have their own rules on sale prices as well.

Unit prices help shoppers compare sizes. Where a state or city has adopted the Uniform Unit Pricing Regulation from NIST Handbook 130, a store that shows unit prices must use the same unit for every size of a product (per ounce, pound, 100 g, fluid ounce, liter or item), round to the nearest cent from a dollar up, and below a dollar use either tenths of a cent or whole cents, not both. A shelf tag is one of the ways it allows.

Some states and cities go further and require unit prices, or a price on every item, in some kinds of stores. Check your state’s weights and measures office before you rely on shelf tags alone.

Tips for clear price tags

• Keep one design and one ink colour across the shop; save red for sale items.
• Use the same unit for the same kind of product, for example price per ounce on every jar of honey, whatever its size.
• Put the tag right under or on the item it prices, so shoppers never have to guess.
• When a price changes, print a new tag rather than writing over the old one.
• Laminate shelf labels and signs that live near water, fridges or sunlight.
