1. Retail & ESL electronic price tag questions

How much does ESL cost for a store?

It will of course depend on the size of the shop and how many articles you have in a shop before you consider the multiple label sizes or options.

Typically an electronic price label comes in various sizes between 5 to 10 cm wide, and you get several options between a monochrome E-ink screen to a 4-colour E-ink screen. A 5 cm monochrome price label that you can see in large hypermarket stores will cost on average 6 EUR per label or 550 EUR per 100 labels.

Apart from the cost of the ESL labels, there are several aspects that influence the total cost calculation: shop audit (free), RFP proposal, ERP connection, set-up and installation costs. After the audit and your known requirements, we make a budgeted proposal with different ESL options that meet your needs.
