French term

Nez

French to English Marketing Retail
Hi guys,

This term is referring to a kind of strip which is attached to the end of a shelf on a POS stand. You can see it here: https://ibb.co/5BNQCvQ. In the image, you will see three similar images: the first is the 'nez' itself, the second is a strip of paper/card which is attached to it (probably to display the name of the product/price) and the third is a clear plastic strip to cover the paper/card.

I have opted for 'end' for the time being, but am not very sure.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Best,
Nick

nosing

This is a term that occurs often in technical contexts, e.g. on the edge of stairs, and I believe this is the term you need here, though you'll need to research to check the applicability in this particular context.

agree philgoddard : Or just nose. There are no right or wrong answers in retail design - everyone has different names for the same things.

Thanks, Phil!
agree AllegroTrans : agree with Phil, maybe "edging". I think this is a case of "describe what you see" unless Asker's client can supply a glossary

Thanks, C! 'Edging' is the mayman's term, but 'nosing' is the specialist technical term. It's why the FR uses 'nez' and not 'chant'.
