A sheet of shelf labels

A sheet of die-cut shelf labels, priced and barcoded, with cut marks in the margins.

A sheet of peel-off labels: a grid of shelf labels, each carrying an article name, its price and the article number a till reads, ending in a row of warehouse bin labels. This is the document a shop prints a hundred at a time.

The grid is described by the stock itself — how many labels across and down, how big one is, and how far apart their corners sit — so moving the sheet onto another die-cut stock is a matter of six numbers. Every label has a line around it and the margins carry cut marks, so what is drawn lands where the blade falls.

What this example shows

• A grid described by one label's size and the gap between two, rather than by a list of positions.
• A scannable article number under every label.
• Cut marks in the four margins, for the guillotine or the cutting die.
