shelf tags

Retail product signs

Shelf tags are small labels attached to store shelves displaying product information—typically price, item name, and barcode.

Retailers use them for inventory management and customer reference: The shelf tag said $3.99 but it rang up at $4.29.

Electronic shelf tags can update prices automatically across a store.
