nounShelfIn Spanish Marco de lineal

What is a shelf frame?

A compact printed frame placed around the brand's products on one shelf only, with a lower bar along the shelf edge, a short upright at each end and an upper bar tucked beneath the next shelf. Shoppers see the products through it, and it never carries them.

Example

“The shelf frame makes six facings read as one piece.”
