Description
A product-specific format
Rectangular Sale Tags for product presentation
Rectangular Sale Tags give product teams a dedicated format for the information and presentation requirements of the item being sold. The specification should begin with the product it will be attached to, then account for the information the tag needs to carry.
Use the form to record the final size, card direction, print sides, finishing and attachment for rectangular sale tags. This keeps the practical decisions together before artwork is supplied or confirmed.
Where this format fits
Rectangular Sale Tags uses
Was and now pricing
A rectangle gives two clear horizontal lines, which is what a struck-through original above a new price actually needs.
Multi-line offer terms
Conditions, dates and exclusions sit as stacked lines rather than being compressed into a square.
Barcode alongside price
A barcode wants horizontal width, which a rectangle provides without shrinking the price figure.
Standard rail fitting
The familiar retail ticket proportion sits consistently on a rail beside full-price tags of the same shape.

- Finishing: Use finishing options where they improve durability, contrast or brand presentation.

Questions and answers
Questions before you order
Rectangular Sale Tags FAQs
Does a rectangle hold more than a square?
For text, yes. Multiple lines of type sit more naturally across a rectangle, whereas a square favours one large element.
Can a rectangular sale tag carry a barcode?
Comfortably. A barcode needs uninterrupted horizontal width and a quiet zone either side, which is easier to give on a rectangle than a square.
Which way should it hang?
Portrait keeps the price at eye level on a rail; landscape suits shelf and table display where the tag lies flat.
Can we print two prices on one ticket?
Yes, and it is the usual pattern: the original struck through above, the new price below in a heavier weight.
