Abstract
Abstract A shelf display device comprising a folded element having a horizontal leaf, and a depending vertical leaf, the horizontal leaf being adapted for placement on a shelf with the vertical leaf in front of the front edge of the shelf. The vertical leaf has a cut-out therein extending horizontally proximate the fold line to expose the front edge of the shelf. The vertical leaf has opposite marginal edge portions at the lateral edges of the cutout by which the vertical leaf is integrally connected to the horizontal leaf. A bridge portion is connected by interlocking tabs to the marginal edge portions of the vertical leaf and the bridge portion extends across the vertical leaf and above the level of the horizontal leaf while leaving the cut-out substantially open to enable viewing of tags mounted on the edge of the shelf.
