CLEAR SCAN® FOR WIRE SHELVING

Now your labels can drop right into place with ease

Clear Scan® Shelf Edge Labeling System Label Strips and Holders flex open at a touch for fast, drop-in labeling, then automatically spring shut to hold the label securely in place. This innovative approach allows use of inexpensive, easy-to-change, plain paper labels instead of hard-to-change, costly, messy adhesive stick-ons. With Clear Scan you can save time, effort and money, scan more accurately, renew the appeal of tired shelves, beautify, and even attract attention and promote sales storewide with patented Info Grip™ which allows placement of signs anywhere in an instant.

Specially formulated materials provide functionality similar to room temperature in sub-zero environments, resist cracking, and allow flexibility for insertion of plain paper labels.

Ease of use:
Gentle pressure on the bottom flexes open the top of the strip for quick label changes. When released, the strip springs completely closed, securing the label in place.

Enhance any environment:
From discount chain to boutique, drugstore to supermarket, Clear Scan can improve operations, image and sales.

Faster labeling & scanning:
The ease of label changes and wear-resistant clear front save you time, labor, and money throughout the process.

Durable and flexible:
The advanced PVC construction retains “memory” and shape, resists yellowing, darkening and aging, increases safety, and lasts for years. Clear Scan is clearly superior™.

Eye-catching colors:
Attract attention and motivate impulse buying with Clear Scan. Match or contrast existing shelves, fly the corporate colors throughout the chain, or even color-code individual departments to communicate a unique “sense of place”.

Beautify and renew:
The vast assortment of Clear Scan colors and sizes allow you to renew tired shelving or beautify economically. And they last longer and look better than painted shelves.

Unsurpassed range of sizes, styles and lengths:
Size to fit your existing label system, or use oversize Clear Scan strips to make your labels even more visible and compelling.

Unmatched shelf compatibility:
Clear Scan mounts directly to all popular makes of metal, wire, glass and wood shelving. Choose from magnetic, adhesive or clip-on for all your label strip, label holder and small-scale sign applications.

Storewide Labeling System:
Clear Scan for electronic labels, Flip Scan® and Clear Scan® Scanning Hooks, hinged shelf talkers that call out for attention, sign holders and clips, Clear Scan for freezers and much more turn your Clear Scan into a total scanning and communication tool.

Improved readability:
The see-through front with protective roof overhang shields your labels from dirt, spills, moisture and wear. Labels last longer, read easier and scan more accurately.

Improved label viewing:
Employ shallow angle strips on low shelves to tilt your message up; or utilize steep angle holders on high shelves for direct, eye-level viewing. Clear Scan can actually improve the visibility of your labels.

Clear Scan® Colors Standard color is Clear front with Clear back.

Common colors are Black, White and Beige. Custom colors are Red, Grey, Blue, Green, Yellow and Silver.

DAVID R. THALENFELD

Founder, 1919-2009

David R. Thalenfeld, known as “Bud” to family and friends, was a hardworking businessman, devoted family man, and the founder and inspirational leader of Trion Industries. His early business career included running a chain of 5 & dime stores in the New York City region, where he developed his concepts that led to the foundation of Trion Industries in 1965. Formed with two other partners, David eventually bought them out and relocated to Wilkes-Barre PA, where he taught his son John the family business. David was a board member and treasurer of POPAI (Point of Purchase Advertising International) and a founding member of WiFAB (The Wire Fabricators Manufacturers Association), which evolved into the present day PDMF Permanent Display Manufacturers Forum. He was inducted into the POPAI Hall of Fame and held over 88 patents for display innovations.

David served in the U.S. Army Air Corps 11th Bomb Squadron in China during the Second World War, then he attended classes at New School University. His favorite story (and something that is hung up around the Trion offices and factory) is at a business conference, when asked what he wanted to do, his immediate answer was, “I want to have the best factory in the world making what we make and I want to have a lot of fun creating it.”

JOHN S. THALENFELD

President & CEO, 1984-2024

Born in Queens, New York, in 1956, John Thalenfeld has worked his way up the ranks at Trion Industries, first in 1972 as a packer, to the current President and CEO. Being the son of David Thalenfeld, John learned first hand experience working in the family’s 5 & dime store as a child, and later working directly under his father at newly formed Trion.

After attending New York University and Wilkes College, John was a moving force behind relocating the factory to Wilkes Barre PA, and has advanced an environmental stewardship and community and employee engagement agenda unique to Trion.

John passed away unexpectedly in February 2024. All who knew him, his corporate endeavors, and years of involvement in community charitable efforts mourn this unfathomable loss. The corporation’s officers, management, and employees pledge to carry on with all of John’s undertakings in his absence. John would want us to continue serving our customers and our community to the best of our abilities.
