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.

conspicuous figures and shall be clear and legible.
i. The list shall display the unit price and
retail price in numbers of equal 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
