Garvey Labels
Looking to spruce up and specify your price tagging situation? Let me clarify. Do you want to make your labels jump out at your customer and assert that your product and or price is “special”? Do you want to label meat as “meat” on a pricing label? It seems like a good idea doesn’t it? Don’t [...]
Wild West and Pricing Guns, Or Lack Thereof
Wild western pricing gun labels probably didn’t exist. If you wanted to buy something at Quinn’s general store, you just asked Quinn how much it cost. And that was that. Coffee was like fifteen cents. Granted this was a hundred an fifty years ago. So you know. But still, baking powder, coffee, hominy, bacon rind. [...]
The Benefits of Modern Pricing Guns
Fifty years ago they had no idea what modern price tagging guns would become. If they could have had the chance to see a Monarch 1131, they would probably have been frightened and aghast at how fast it shoots Garvey labels. A single modern pricing gun is like twelve old-school pricing guns. But back then [...]
The Old Pricing Label Switcheroo
Pricing Labels are a great asset to your business, really any business. I mean who but the greatest savants among us can retain pricing information for the veritable menagerie of items in our stores? Don’t ask me to. There is simply not enough hours in the day or room in my head for a whole store’s [...]
Love For A Pricing Gun
I worked at a local general store for thirteen years of my life. While there I developed a compulsive fixation on “my” pricing gun. Obviously it was never really mine. To prove that, I would often come in and a fellow employee would have it claimed. I remember how smoothly the labels printed and how [...]
DIY Price Tags
There are a lot of ways to price things. You can use price guns, or tie or staple tags — depending on what the item is you could even just write it directly on. (Many secondhand booksellers pencil in the prices on the inside cover.) If you want to shake things up a bit and [...]

Want To Spice Up Your Price Tagging Gun?
If you work at a department or convenience store, and one of your primary responsibilities is tagging items with a pricing gun, you probably get a little, well, sick of it after a while. There’s not a whole lot you can do to break up the potential monotony, but you can at least make the [...]
Before There Were Pricing Guns…
…People had to write out the prices for everything. It might not have been so bad for people with small shops who had what, 10 things to sell? But people with dozens upon dozens of items had to not only write everything out but attach everything one at a time — possibly with string. Now, [...]
Garage Sale Junkie? Get a Price Tagging Gun
My abuela and her friend Láura love garage sales. They have a method to their madness: every Saturday morning, after breakfast of Cuban toast and café con leche, they’re out the door by 7 a.m. and then they hit the streets in Láura’s white Buick LeSabre. They’re armed with flyers advertising different sales, and cruise [...]
