Stationery vs Gift Wall Split in a Small Shop
Two jobs on one leftover strip is unfinished spec. Name each wall. Leave the aisle.
Stationery versus gift wall split in a small shop is two walls, one walk — peg versus shelf, not a mixed leftover strip. Independent retailers in Thailand hang every SKU face-out because a lookbook showed a forest. The shops that still find a card keep specified pegs on one wall and named shelf depth on the other.
Stationery shop and gift shop are the two checklists. Pegboard is the carded sibling. How much shelving is the boxed sibling. Aisle width is remaining walk after both walls.
What each wall is for
Stationery wall. Peg or named shallow shelf for carded SKUs. Empty grooves to leftover millimetres are not accessory slots — faceout spacing, slatwall groove spacing. Gridwall hooks if the wall is grid.
Gift wall. Named shelf depth for boxes. A lip if it walks. Grocery-deep bays steal a boutique unit — slatwall shelf depth. Homewares is the named-depth sibling.
One sample height per story. A card or object you can lift — not every SKU as a tower in the door — layout, island vs perimeter. Do not average two systems on a leftover strip.
Wrap that packs. Awkward boxes, leftover width — cash wrap, queue vs browse. Impulse is a tray of tags, not a third wall on the till — impulse.
Tickets. Unpriced facings are not merchandising — price tickets.
Hobby is the peg-vs-shelf sibling. Back of house: cartons off the floor. Window: one story, not two forests. Gondola usually splits 40 sqm.
Corner trim: finish the edge where the two walls meet.
When peg vs shelf
| Job | Stationery (peg / shallow) | Gift (named depth) |
|---|---|---|
| Carded SKUs | Strong | Weak if they walk |
| Boxed gifts | Weak | Strong |
| 40 sqm | Must work on one wall | Must work on the other |
| Mixed leftover strip | Never | Never |
Common mistakes
- Peg and deep shelf on one leftover strip.
- Every SKU in the first two metres.
- No tickets.
- Two window stories.
What belongs on the quotation
- Stationery wall vs gift wall — named.
- Peg vs shelf per bay.
- Shelf depth if it sits — millimetres on the quote.
- Remaining walk after both walls.
- Language of the document, Thai or English.
Send shop type and whether cards or boxes dominate. That is enough to specify two walls instead of a mixed leftover strip.
Two walls, one walk, leftover finished
If you are splitting stationery and gift in Thailand, name each wall. 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 both walls, the wrap, and the walk.
Common questions
- Peg and deep shelf on the same leftover strip?
- No. Name stationery vs gift as two walls. Finish leftover millimetres as trim.
- One sample height for both stories?
- One per story, not a mixed tower in the door. Remaining walk on the quotation.
- Do both walls still need price tickets?
- Yes. Unpriced facing is not merchandising.
- Two window stories?
- No. One story in the glass. The split lives on the walls.
