Gondola pegboard covering system

A method of covering a retail display support structure for a retail environment at a retail establishment, the retail display support structure including a plurality of holes and adapted to display retail merchandise for resale, the method comprising the steps of:

• measuring, at the retail establishment, at least one dimension of the retail display support structure;
• dispensing a length of the covering material from a wound state on a roll at the retail establishment;
• wherein dispensing a length of the covering material further comprises matching, at the retail establishment, the dimensions of the placard to a pegboard of the retail display support structure wherein the placard covers at least 80 percent of the visible surface of the pegboard of the retail display support structure, wherein matching the dimensions of the placard to a pegboard of the retail display support structure is such that the placard covers substantially all of the visible surface of the pegboard of the retail display support structure;
• severing the covering material to form a placard of the covering material having a dimension that corresponds to at least one dimension of the retail display support structure;
• wherein the step of severing the covering material includes cutting the material from the roll of covering material;
• wherein the step of cutting includes aligning a desired location of the covering material to be cut with the edge of a container in which the roll is stored to guide the cutting of the covering material;
• further comprising the step of aligning a desired location to be cut with a cutting groove of a cutting track attached to a free edge of a container in which the roll is stored, and cutting the covering material with a cutting tool having a cutting blade by guiding the cutting blade by the cutting groove of the cutting track;
• arranging the placard of covering material over the retail display structure;
• wherein the covering material has preformed holes, the preformed holes being in the form of generally annular scored plugs whereby the annular scored plugs exist on the covering material in the wound state on the roll, at least some of the annular scored plugs having an arrangement corresponding to a plurality of holes of the retail display support structure;
• securing the placard of covering material to the retail display support structure to cover at least a portion of the retail display support structure;
• wherein securing the placard includes pushing a plurality of pins through the covering material and into a corresponding plurality of holes in the retail display support structure, which includes:
• punching out one or more of the annular scored plugs defining the preformed holes to form one or more receiver holes through the placard;
• aligning the one or more receiver holes with corresponding holes in the retail display structure;
• and
• inserting one or more of the pushpins through the receiver holes;
• wherein the covering material has an aesthetic face on one side and measurement lines on a second side, the measurement lines being arranged at spaced intervals;
• using said measurement lines to assist in corresponding the dimension of the placard with the at least one dimension of the retail display structure;
• wherein the covering material has perforations and the covering material has light colored lines on the second side to form said measurement lines at spaced intervals;
• wherein severing the covering material includes severing the covering material along the perforated lines in the covering material extending in a direction perpendicular to a rotational axis of the roll of covering material;
• wherein the covering material is paper;
• wherein the paper covering material includes a washable coating;
• further including the step of removing old covering material from the retail display support structure prior to the step of securing the placard to the retail display support structure;
• and
• further comprising dispensing and severing covering material from the roll to form a second placard of covering material, and further comprising securing the second placard to the retail display support structure.
