Merchandising & shelving · AirFlo

A faced shelf, without
sending someone to face it.

Shelves, self-facers, bins, bases, dividers, peg hooks and PODs from the AirFlo line: the parts that keep a shelf faced and shoppable.

Configured per store against the gondolas and cases already in place, not sold as a catalogue box.

01Choose by need

Start from the shelf you are trying to fix.

Most stores start with one family, usually self-facers on a problem aisle, and add the rest as the run gets rebuilt.

02What a shelf costs you

An unfaced shelf reads as an empty one.

Three things happen on every shelf nobody has faced since this morning.

  1. 01

    Facing is labour

    Someone walks the aisle and pulls product forward, every day, on hours you are already short of.

  2. 02

    A gap looks like out of stock

    Product sitting eight inches back is in stock and unsold. The shopper doesn't lean in to check.

  3. 03

    Categories drift

    Without dividers the planogram lasts a week. Then the facings blur and the reset is manual.

03How to choose

Four questions, and the last one decides the rest.

We count facings, measure depths and identify the mount before anything is ordered, so what arrives fits the run it was measured against.

  1. 01

    Facing type by product shape

    A can, a pouch and a carton don't push the same way.

  2. 02

    Shelf depth

    How far the facing has to travel before it reaches the edge.

  3. 03

    Frame mount or case mount

    A gondola frame, or the front of a refrigerated case.

  4. 04

    What fits the fixtures you already own

    The constraint that comes first in practice, and last in most catalogues.

04Where the line comes from

Carlson makes it. Franesse makes it work in your store.

AirFlo is the Carlson AirFlo line. Franesse configures it to the store and supplies it, so the line has someone local behind it.

  1. 01

    Configured per store

    Facings counted, depths and mounts measured, a kit assembled for the run.

  2. 02

    Supplied as one order

    For one aisle, one store or a rollout across banners.

  3. 03

    Replacements by part number

    Facers, hooks and dividers reordered against what was installed, so the replacement matches the run.

05On the same floor

What usually goes in with it.

An octogonal brown display cardboard merchandiser or box with black plastic trim, lid, and feet, shown on a solid gray background.

Merchandising

Trays, baskets, dishes and dividers for the products the shelf holds.

Crowd control

Passport posts and Turn-O-Matic numbering systems for the front end and service counters.

06FAQ

Questions buyers ask us.

What does self-facing actually save?

Two things: the facing pass someone makes down the aisle every day, and the look of the shelf between those passes. Product stays at the edge as it sells instead of receding into a gap that reads as out of stock.

Which peg hook for which fixture?

Start from the mount. The Frame Mount Peg Hook Bar is for gondola frames, the Refrigerated Case Mount Peg Hook Bar for refrigerated cases, and the Vertical Merchandising Rack Peg Hook Mounting Kit for vertical racks. The Auto-Facing Peg Hook Adjustable Bar Kit adds self-facing to pegged product.

Is AirFlo made by Franesse?

No. AirFlo is the Carlson AirFlo line. Franesse configures it for your store and supplies it.

Why are there no prices online?

AirFlo is quoted per store. The kit depends on how many sections, which mounts and which families, so we price it once we know the run.
