Árcímke

Árcímke is a Hungarian term that translates to "price tag" or "price label" in English. It refers to a small piece of paper or card that displays the price of a product. Árcímke are commonly found in retail environments, attached to or placed near merchandise to inform customers of the cost.

These labels can vary significantly in design and the information they contain. At a minimum, an árcímke will typically show the price in Hungarian Forint (HUF). Some may also include the product name, barcode, unit price (e.g., price per kilogram), and occasionally promotional information like discounts or special offers. The placement and clarity of the árcímke are important for consumer transparency and efficient retail operations.

In Hungary, regulations often dictate certain aspects of price labeling, ensuring that prices are clearly displayed and accurate. For example, VAT (Value Added Tax) is usually included in the displayed price. Consumers rely on árcímke to make purchasing decisions and compare products. The term itself is a compound word, with "ár" meaning "price" and "címke" meaning "label" or "tag."
