How to Remove Labels Safely
Preparation Steps
You want to remove labels without causing damage to your price tag holder or shelf. Start by preparing your workspace. Clear the area around the label. Make sure you have good lighting so you can see the sticker and the edges of the price tag holder. Gather your supplies. You need the Nova-day label removal tool, a soft cloth, and a mild cleaning solution for any sticker residue. If you work in a busy retail space, let your team know you will be working on the shelves.
Check the type of surface before you begin. Labels may sit on plastic, glass, or metal. Each surface needs a gentle touch. Wear anti-static gloves if possible. This step protects the electronic parts of the labels from static electricity. You should never use improvised tools like credit cards or screwdrivers. These items can scratch or break the label or the price tag holder.
Tip: Always use the Nova-day tool for label removal. This tool matches most ESL brands and models, so you do not need to switch tools for different labels.
Using the ESL Removal Tool
You can remove labels quickly and safely with the right technique. Follow these steps for best results:
- Insert the Nova-day tool into the slot next to the label.
- Apply controlled pressure. Do not force the tool or twist the sticker.
- Release the locking system by gently pressing the tool.
- Slide the label out in a smooth motion.
This method works for all compatible ESL brands. The Nova-day tool protects both the sticker and the price tag holder during removal. You do not need special training. Most staff members learn this process in minutes.
Note: Avoid pulling the sticker directly. Do not use metal objects. Never twist the label during removal. These actions can break the label or leave stubborn residue on the shelf.
Tips for Different Surfaces
You may find labels on plastic, glass, or metal. Each surface reacts differently to sticker removal methods. Here are some tips for each type:
- Plastic: Use gentle pressure. Plastic can scratch easily. The Nova-day tool slides under the sticker without leaving marks. If you see sticker residue, wipe it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner.
- Glass: Glass surfaces show fingerprints and marks. Remove labels slowly to avoid chipping the edge of the price tag holder. Clean any stubborn residue with a damp cloth.
- Metal: Metal shelves can bend if you use too much force. Hold the shelf steady as you remove the sticker. For stubborn residue, use a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemicals.
Alert: Never use excessive force. Always match the tool to the label type. This step prevents damage and keeps your price tag holder in top condition.
The Nova-day tool works with many ESL brands. You can remove labels from Hanshow, Zkong, Pricer, and other popular systems. This universal fit saves you time and keeps your shelves looking professional.
If you follow these steps, you will keep your labels, stickers, and price tag holders in great shape. You will also avoid stubborn residue and keep your retail space clean.
Cleaning and Troubleshooting After Label Removal
Removing Residue
When you take off labels, sticky stuff can stay behind. You need to clean it so your shelves look nice. Use a soft cloth and a gentle cleaner first. Warm water with dish soap works for most sticky spots. If the sticky part is hard to remove, try rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Put some on a cotton ball, let it sit, and rub gently. A hair dryer can help loosen sticky spots before you wipe them away. For really tough spots, use vinegar or a label removal spray. Do not use strong chemicals that might hurt your shelves or labels.
Tip: Peanut butter or mayonnaise can help because their oils break down sticky stuff. Always test these on a small spot first.
| Method | Best For | How to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Warm Water & Detergent | Light residue | Soak and scrub gently |
| Rubbing Alcohol | Stubborn residue | Apply, soak, and wipe |
| Hair Dryer | Thick residue | Warm, peel, and scrub |
| Vinegar | Persistent residue | Soak and wipe |
| Label Removal Spray | Heavy residue | Spray, soak, and remove |
Fixing Common Issues
Sometimes labels rip or leave more sticky stuff. If this happens, use the Nova-day ESL removal tool again to lift the label gently. For ripped labels, put warm water on the spot and scrub off the pieces. If sticky stuff stays, clean it again using the steps above. Never use metal tools or push too hard. This keeps your shelves and labels safe.
You want your ESL system to last a long time. Wipe magnetic labels with a dry cloth. Keep extra labels away from water and sunlight. Check shelf strips for peeling or damage. Clean holders with a damp cloth so labels stay clear. Change holders if they do not stick well anymore.
Note: A full ESL system has removal tools, rails, adapters, shelf talkers, and digital tag display parts. Nova-day has ESL label adapters and plastic shelf strips to help you keep shelves neat. These tools help you organize labels, show sales, and make your store work better.
