To set up your artwork, the first thing you’ll need to do is make sure your document is the right size. Data strip dimensions plus bleed area is:

• 1006mm x 45mm

Make sure you keep at least 3mm away from the edge whilst designing to avoid any important information being cut off.

You can cut and fold your data strips, so if you don’t need the full 1000mm length, just design as much as your shelving needs and leave the rest blank.

What material are data strips printed on?

We print our shelf edge strips on 170gsm silk stock. This is a lightweight paper, similar to a thin flyer paper, with a smooth silk coating.

Can I order different lengths?

We currently don’t offer different lengths, however you can trim or fold them down to size which is common in retail environments. If you’re planning on trimming yours down, leave the part of your design you want to trim blank.

Can I order plastic casing for my data strips?

Yes! You can add on plastic casing which attaches to your shop shelves right here on this page. This is so you can attach the data strips to your shelving and protect it from being handled or getting damp and dirty.

If you’ve already got plastic shelving, just order data strips to refill what you’ve already got.

Can I cut the plastic casing?

Yes, you can cut down our plastic casing it it’s too long for your shelves.
