Abstract
A transparent plastic sign holder is designed to fit in C-channels of different heights along the front edges of merchandise display shelves. The sign holder is a plastic sheet with a backwardly folded, downwardly depending, first flap integrally connected to the upper edge of the main body panel of the sign holder, and a backwardly folded, upwardly extending second flap integrally connected to the lower edge of the main body panel. A sign can be slidingly engaged behind the transparent main body panel in the bights formed at the connection with the first and second flaps. The second flap has yet another or third backwardly folded, downwardly depending, flap integrally connected to its upper edge. The first and third flaps each have freely extending lower edge portions and have different heights corresponding to the heights of two different C-channels with which the sign holder is to be used. The lower edge portions of the first flap can either be positioned behind the third flap or between the second flap and the main body panel to expose either the first or third flap for engagement with a C-channel of a corresponding height without the need to invert the sign holder for use with different height C-channels.
