Friday Featured Product: Tagging Guns and Accessories

Friday, April 24th, 2009

In keeping with our theme this week of the economy, we wanted to feature price tagging guns and accessories. Price tagging guns can help increase sales, decrease loss and help with inventory control.  There are many different types of pricing guns available. You need to select the model that suits your needs.

The two most prevalent pricing guns are the labelers that print a sticker that is placed on an item and tagging guns that attach tags with plastic fasteners.

Labeling guns often come in one line and two line versions. One line versions speed up pricing, encourage self-selection and discourage price-switching. These labelers print up to eight characters in one line. Two line labelers print two lines with up to 7 characters per line for clear, sharp labels. Labeling guns are often used for boxes, books, kitchen items and other solid items that need a price tag adhered to it.

Tagging guns connect a paper tag to an item with a plastic fastener. This type of tagging guns is ideal for clothes and other soft items such as pillows and stuffed animals. As a unique touch, fasteners come in many shapes and colors include hot pink and orange plastic fasteners. One thing to keep in mind, some materials will snag or tear using a standard tagging gun. As a result, there are fine tagging guns made especially for this purpose.
