Discount Marking Set for Clothing Stores

There is usually only a weekend between two collections, and during that time hundreds of price tags need to be relabeled. Anyone working with discounts in a clothing store knows the pressure: the merchandise has to go, the new season is already waiting in boxes, and every label that sticks poorly or is applied incorrectly costs time at the checkout. A well-designed discount labeling set removes exactly this pressure because the pricing gun and labels are designed to work together from the start.

The Right Solution for Clothing Stores

In a clothing store, the garment itself is not labeled; instead, the price tag or hangtag attached to the item is labeled. During discount campaigns, these tags are often relabeled multiple times, first with the reduced price and possibly later with the original price again. This is exactly where it becomes apparent whether a label is suitable for its intended purpose: a permanently adhesive label is ideal for permanently discounted merchandise, while a removable label is better suited for tags that may need to be changed again later. There is also the legal aspect: anyone advertising with percentage discounts or crossed-out prices must comply with price transparency requirements. This set is specifically designed for this combination of practical functionality and legal compliance.

What Is Included in the Set

• Meto Classic XL Giant 1829 Pricing Gun – This two-line pricing gun prints up to 18 characters, including currency symbols, making it suitable for displaying both the regular price and promotional price on a single label. The large digits ensure that discounts remain easy to read even from a distance. An ink roller and an initial label roll are already installed, so the device is ready for immediate use.
• White Labels, Permanent Adhesive – For regular price labeling on price tags during day-to-day operations, permanently adhesive for items that remain labeled over the long term.
• Fluorescent Red Labels, Permanent Adhesive – The signal color visually distinguishes discounted merchandise from the regular collection without requiring customers to search for it.
• White Labels, Removable – For price tags that will return to the original price after the promotion or that need to be relabeled multiple times. Can be removed from the tag or hangtag without leaving residue or causing damage.
• Fluorescent Red Labels with Preprinted “Special Price” Text, Permanent Adhesive – The bulk pack with preprinted text saves time during larger promotions because the pricing gun only needs to add the price.

Legally Compliant Discounting in Fashion Retail

Anyone advertising with percentage discounts, crossed-out prices, or terms such as “Special Price” in a clothing store is subject to the German Price Indication Ordinance (PAngV). Under Section 11 PAngV, when announcing a price reduction, the lowest total price that was actually charged within the 30 days prior to the promotion must be indicated. This applies both online and in physical retail stores. In 2024, the Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed that percentage discount claims must also be based on this 30-day reference price, meaning that a temporarily increased price may not serve as the basis for calculating a discount. In practice, this means documenting price changes throughout the relevant period and basing every discount label on the actual lowest price from the previous 30 days.

Individual discounts for specific customers and customer loyalty programs such as discount cards are not subject to this regulation.
