Sign Holder vs Printed End Panel
Print plus a holder in every leftover slot is unfinished spec. Name one story. Finish leftover grooves as trim.
Sign holder versus printed end panel is one story on the short face — leftover grooves are trim, not a second campaign. Independent retailers in Thailand print the end and still clip an A4 in every leftover slot because the accessory was cheap. The shops that still look finished specify holder or print, then finish leftover millimetres.
End-panel graphics is graphic versus hooks. Sign holders on slatwall is the groove holder. Endcap displays is the short face as campaign. Lookbook holders is takeaway paper. This page is holder versus printed panel.
What each job is for
Sign holder. One named bay: new, sale, a category — not merchandising of the garment. One per story. A holder in every leftover groove is a paper wall. Price tickets still sit on the SKU. Faceout spacing: leftover millimetres are not extra slots.
Printed end panel. One graphic on the short face. Unused grooves finish as trim or a blank return — slatwall returns, corner trim, outrigger return vs trim. Endcap vs window: the window is the other ad.
Not both as a forest. Graphic plus a holder forest plus hooks photographs as unfinished spec. Retail signage is the fascia family, not a third paper wall. Panel layout: empty grooves are unfinished spec.
Aisle width: a projecting holder still eats millimetres. Landlord may own the demising end. Humidity: we do not invent a warranty for printed film. Lighting: points on the drawing, no lux claims.
How to measure: named leftover millimetres on the short face. Black vs chrome: holder finish should not introduce a fifth metal. Slatwall finish agrees with the sheet.
When holder vs printed panel
| Job | Sign holder | Printed end panel |
|---|---|---|
| Name one bay | Strong — one per story | Weak as a paper forest |
| One ad on the short face | Weak if every slot has paper | Strong |
| Leftover grooves | Trim, not extra holders | Trim, not extra hooks |
| Holder plus print plus hooks | Never | Never |
| Remaining walk after projection | Named | Named |

- Remaining walk after any projection.
- Finish family vs the sheet.
- Language of the document, Thai or English.
Send photos of the short face. That is enough to specify one story instead of a leftover paper forest.
One story, leftover grooves as trim
