Choosing the right shelf color ensures high warehouse efficiency

1、 Light colors make the space more spacious

White and light gray shelves can make the warehouse appear bright and spacious, especially suitable for spaces with lower floors. After a certain e-commerce warehouse replaced the black shelves with white, employees generally reported that they felt the warehouse had become bigger and their mood was more relaxed during work. 

2、 Warm color scheme increases working temperature 

In cold regions, orange and yellow shelves can create a sense of warmth. After using orange shelves in a northern logistics center, although the temperature in the warehouse during winter did not change, employees said that they "didn't feel so cold anymore". 

3、 Partition color matching makes finding goods faster 

Divide shelf areas with different colors, such as blue for daily necessities and green for food. After adopting color zoning in a certain supermarket warehouse, the time for new employees to find goods has been reduced from 15 minutes to 3 minutes. 

4、 Warning colors ensure safety 

Use red and yellow shelves at the end and corners of the passage to serve as a warning. After using red shelves in hazardous areas, a factory reduced forklift collision accidents by 40%. 

5、 Gradient color guides the flow line 

The color change from light to dark can naturally guide the workflow. A certain express distribution center uses a gradually blue color to mark the sorting route, and employees say it is "as natural as following a river". 

Tip: 

Choose dirt resistant gray for areas that are frequently moved
Use soft light colors for areas that require fine homework
The management can quickly identify the work area through color
Remember, shelf color is not a decoration, but a tool to improve efficiency. Choosing the right color is like casting a spell on the warehouse, quietly improving work efficiency.
