In this story

Separate two prices visually

NIST’s unit-pricing guide shows a contrasting background around the unit-price block. Another example pairs a volume-based selling quantity with a volume-based comparison unit, rather than mixing volume and weight.

These are published design examples, not findings about a South Hill shop.

A reference, not a certificate

The guide addresses accuracy and usability across physical and online retail. A shop considering new labels can use its examples to examine which number attracts attention and whether the comparison unit is clear.

This brief does not determine Virginia legal compliance or endorse a particular label system.
