Section 13:45A-14.8 - Unit price signs and unit price lists

(a) Whenever this subchapter permits a person to display a sign or list in conjunction with the exposing or offering for sale at retail of a regulated consumer commodity, a sample format of the sign or list shall be submitted to the director for approval prior to the display of the sign or list.

(b) In determining whether to approve the sign or list, the director shall be guided by the following standards:

1. The sign or list shall be divided so as to create a left and right side.

2. The left side of a sign or list shall be known as the unit price side and shall contain the following information:

i. The term "unit price";

ii. The numerical unit price;

iii. The approved unit of measure including if appropriate the "ply" count or thickness of the consumer commodity.

3. The right side shall be known as the retail price side and shall contain the following information:

i. The term "retail price" or "you pay" or similar term;

ii. The numerical retail price;

iii. The quantity or size of the consumer commodity expressed in terms of the approved unit of measure.

4. A description of the commodity to be sold shall appear on the sign or list.

5. Additional stock or code information may appear on the unit price sign or list.

6. All letters or numbers shall be in conspicuous figures and shall be clear and legible.

i. The list shall display the unit price and retail price in numbers of equal size.

ii. The sign shall display the unit price and retail price in equal size if in numbers of less than five inches. For signs with numbers for the retail price larger than five inches, the unit price shall be no less than three inches in size or one-half the retail price size, whichever is greater.

7. The overall design of the sign or label shall convey the consumer information in a clear, readable and conspicuous fashion. Any stock or code information shall not obscure or deemphasize the consumer information.
