FMl: Setting the Record Straight on Digital Shelf Labels

FMI’s new fact sheet highlights how digital shelf labels improve pricing accuracy, reduce waste and give shoppers more information while dispelling common misconceptions.

You’ve probably glanced at hundreds of digital price displays without thinking twice, such as at the gas pump or even in a drive-through. That same subtle technology has been transforming grocery store shelves over the years: Digital shelf labels (DSLs). These small, dynamic screens are steadily replacing paper price tags and reshaping how retailers improve pricing accuracy, reduce waste and support a modern grocery retail experience.

DSLs simply replace paper price tags with small digital price displays. This helps ensure the price you see on the shelf matches the price at checkout.

Unfortunately, more than a dozen states – and the U.S. Congress – are currently considering legislation that would ban this useful technology. These bills are largely driven by fears and misconceptions about what DSLs are actually meant to do.
