Here is a general overview of the pricing gun brands and what they are primarally used for.

Monarch pricing guns come in multiple models and band configurations for each model. This means you can have different pricing gun models within the same line using the same pricing labels, yet printing completely different things. Many Monarch pricing guns have the ability to print time, date and units of measurement. Monarch pricing guns are known for their low price and ease of use. 

XL Pro pricing guns all come with a 5 year manufacturers warranty which includes free price gun repair. XL Pro pricing guns are very customizable and come in many different models. XL Pro makes over 30 different pricing guns for all of your pricing, coding and inventory tracking needs. XL Pro also makes the only pricing gun that can print 14 digits.

Towa pricing guns are known for their durability. Towa pricing guns are the only guns on the market that made of metal. Their tough quality construction and smooth operating action, make them the king for high volume usage. XL Pro pricing guns come in 3 different models which makes it less harrowing to find the pricing gun right for you.

Sato pricing guns are fully customizable. Sato pricing guns can print, pretty much anything you choose and are small compact and easy to use and store.

Meto pricing guns are predominantly used for eye catching promotional labeling. Meto pricing guns are known for their wavy edged price labels and the way they help impulse buyers see prices. Meto pricing guns print in large and clear bold digits to make prices very visible from far away. 

Two line pricing labels are very versatile and contain many advantages over one and three line pricing labels. The top line of the price label is usually used to code or date items. The amount of digits printed on the top line varies from 5-14 digits. The XL Pro 37-47 price marking gun has the ability to print 14 digits on the top line of the price label which is the most of any pricing gun

The top line of the price label can also be used for date or time coding as well as expiration dates. The bottom line of the price label, depending on the usage of the top line is usually used for pricing.

Two line pricing labels are most popular when used for sale price and price comparisons. The biggest advantage of two line pricing labels is the ability to print the sale price and regular price on the same label. Printing of the competitor’s price and “our” price are also common ways to utilize the versatility of the two line pricing label.

The two line pricing label can also feature your stores or companies name in the middle of the label between the two lines. Logos and phone numbers can also be printed in the middle of the two line price label, making it very popular for companies trying to gain brand recognition and customer retention by allowing customers to remember where the product was purchased.

Price marking labels typically come 16 rolls per box; each box contains 17,000 price labels and 15 boxes per case. Boxes of price labels are sometimes called sleeves or packages, rolls of price labels are used to refill the actual pricing gun. One ink roller for your pricing gun is usually included with each price label order.

We do repair price marking guns, however it is usually more cost effective to replace the pricing gun. Most pricing guns come with a one year warranty which includes price gun repair. The XL Pro price guns come with a 5 year warranty, which is the best in the price marking industry.

Sato pricing guns are extremely customizable. All Sato pricing guns come with a 2 year warranty. Sato pricing guns can be customized with alpha and numeric bands, half alpha, full alpha- pretty much anything you want.

We would not recommend taking the pricing gun apart as there are many small parts that are impossible to put back together without knowledge of price marking gun mechanics.

First remove any labels you may have in the price gun, turn it upside down so that any loose labels may fall out. Work the action a few times and make sure there are no price labels stuck in the rear of the gun that spits out the used price label back paper.

If that does not work, there a few steps you can try to diagnose the problem with your price gun jamming. Using a small file, (some pricing guns come with one for this purpose) to try and see if any labels are caught in the opening is one thing you can do.

We would also recommend trying to lubricate the moving parts of the price gun. We do offer gun repair and usually price gun jams can be taken care of quite quickly. Most pricing guns come with a 1 year warranty which includes free price gun repair during that period. XL pro pricing guns come with a 5 year warranty and therefore the repair is free.

All price marking labels, unless specifically noted come with security slits to allow for easy removal and at the same time to prevent price switching due to the fact that upon removal the labels will split apart.

To remove a price marking label without damaging your products surface, make sure to use a plastic scraper. Monarch, which is one of the more popular pricing gun and label manufacturers- makes scrapers for this purpose, but any plastic device with a good edge will do. Try using a plastic knife, and wetting the label for easier removal.

If you know that you will be removing pricing labels from products often, specify this when ordering because removable adhesives are available for most pricing labels.

The first question to ask is whether or not the price labels will be applied to products that are already frozen. Although all price labels will stick to frozen products, synthetic price labels are recommended for usage on products already frozen. If the pricing or inventory label will be applied to a product at room temperature and then frozen, regular stock labels should be used.

We have several customers that own greenhouses and other stores which require products to be placed in high humidity environments. We recommend using synthetic pricing labels if marking products that will be located in high humidity environments.

It really depends on how many digits you need for your inventory making needs. For basic inventory marking with one line we usually recommend the Monarch 1131 pricing gun which, prints 8 digits and is very easy to load and use. Its basic design and durable construction make the Monarch 1131 pricing gun ideal for basic one line inventory marking.

For a two line basic inventory marking we would recommend the XL Pro 25EE pricing gun. The XL Pro 25EE pricing gun can print two lines of ten digits each. All XL Pro pricing guns come with a 5 year manufacturers warranty which includes full gun repair.

In this case it is actually the labels that are more important. In order to mark 2 prices on a product you may want to use a 2 line label, this will allow you to show regular and sale prices on the same label. One line price labels are great for promotional pricing. Three line labels may be used to show two prices and some coding numbers on the price label.

If you are seeking a promotional labeler, look no further then the Monarch 1138 one line pricing gun. The Monarch 1138 promotional pricing gun prints 5 bold large digits. Monarch 1152 series pricing guns are great for promotions as well, they print jumbo serrated edged price labels.

Yes we do print custom price marking labels. We can customize color, and imprint color. We can also print your companies name or logo on price labels. Phone numbers, email addresses and websites are also commonly printed on pricing labels. Customizing pricing labels gives you an edge when trying to retain customers; a customer can look on the label and see where they bought the product.

Pricing gun model numbers are usually laser etched onto the side of the gun. If the number is not there, try looking on the plastic dial above the printing bands.

Yes we sell a few different 3 line pricing guns. The different models of 3 line pricing guns include Monarch 1153, Towa 3 and Meto 33.29.
