How we stack up.

ESL brand comparison · September 2026 · We sell ZKong directly from New York. ZKong covers the same core label sizes and color tiers as the global brands. What’s different is how you actually buy.

✓ = available · — = not available · highlighted column = Retail Digitals (ZKong USA)

Why buy from Retail Digitals (vs anywhere else)?

1

US-based

Real people in New York. Same timezone, same language, same business hours. Every other major ESL brand is HQ'd in Asia or Europe.

2

No enterprise contract

No minimum order — buy from 1 label; most retailers start with a 25-label demo kit. No sales-call gauntlet, no procurement signoff. US-stocked models ship quickly.

3

Free decision tools

ROI calculator + printable sizing template (cut out paper models to test on your shelf — before you order). Most other vendors route sizing through sales.
