Stationery Shop Fixture Checklist for Independent Retailers
Counted pens on peg. Pads on a shelf. A tote hangrail is not a stationery shop.
A stationery shop fixture checklist for independent retailers is peg density, lipped shelves, and a wrap that packs bags — not a fashion hangrail as the hero. Independent shops in Thailand order slatwall because every boutique they saw used it. The shops that still find a notebook keep counted smalls on peg or grid and boxes on a shelf with tickets.
Gift shop is the sibling vertical. Pegboard is counted hanging packs. Mesh baskets vs shelves is loose vs boxed. Metal grid vs slat picks the wall for the SKU. Price tickets still come first.
What belongs on the floor
Peg or grid. Pens, blister, hanging smalls. Hook length specified — aisle width, wall hooks vs shelves. Unlabelled peg is a dump.
Lipped shelf. Paper, boxed sets, stacked pads. Depth matched to the format — slatwall shelf depth, how much shelving.
One table for a weekly face-out if walk remains — display tables vs walls, island vs perimeter. Not every SKU face-out.
Wrap that packs. Bags, leftover width, queue for two — cash wrap, queue space. Impulse is a small tray, not a second stationery wall on the till — impulse.
Not a fashion hangrail. Tote bags if you sell them are a named peg bay, not the hero rail.
Window: one story. Layout: not a peg forest in the door. Dump bins are clearance, not the pen wall.
Bookstore is spines; stationery is packs and pads. Do not copy a fashion perimeter.

Peg for smalls, shelf for pads
If you are fitting a stationery shop in Thailand, start with peg or grid and a wrap that packs. Send the shop type, the size, and the opening month through the fixture plan form. We will return one fixture schedule and one written quotation — Thai or English — covering the wall, the table if any, and the walk.
Common questions
- Is fashion slatwall hangrail the right hero?
- No. Peg or grid for hanging smalls, shelves for pads. Hangrail steals the wall.
- How many face-out tables?
- Usually one or none. Every notebook face-out kills the wall.
- Do pens on peg still need price tickets?
- Yes. Unpriced facing is not merchandising.
- Gondola in 30 sqm stationery?
- Usually skip. Remaining aisle after every bay still belongs on the quotation.
