General Information

A "Shadow Board" or "Store-Board" is a tool organizer. The silhouettes of your tools are color printed on a Plastic or Aluminum panel. All our boards are laminated with "Anti-scratch" and Chemical-resistance lamination film.
The boards can be mount directly on the wall as a "static tool station" or a mobile tool station" mounted on stainless steel frame on wheels.

The Shadow Boards ensures that cleaning tools are well stored in a highly visible way as a part of 5S System (designation of fixed location).
Your employees will work in a more organized way not wasting time for searching for a tool, or thinking where to place them on the board.
The Shadow Boards are also your marketing tools. They show your visitors/auditors that your workplace is well organized.

What is the 5S System?

The 5 System (program) is a lean production tool that improves productivity and efficiency in your workplace.

The main 5S program benefits:

1. Improve hygiene and hygiene awareness.
2. Improve the effectiveness of your food safety programs (SQF, HACCP).
3. Makes your workplace well organized and safe.
