Level colours on pallet racks
When you decide on using colour-coded labels for your pallet racking, it is important to consider not only the type of racking, but also the colour of the beams. The contrast between the colour of the beam and the colour of the rack labels determines the level of visibility for your operators. Below you will find some practical examples of warehouse labels with level colours applied to a yellow beam.

Which level colours best suit your warehouse?
You are free to choose which colours you want to use at the different levels. However, for the pallet locations that are higher up, we advise you to use colours that provide greater contrast to the colour of the beam, even if you work with man-ups or with reach trucks outfitted with a camera. Contrasting colours enhance the legibility and visibility of the location numbers on the labels. As an example, a magenta label on a red/orange beam or a yellow label on a yellow beam provide low contrast, so when we design your labels, we will recommend using these colours at level 3 or lower.
Please take a look at the numerous examples of label designs that use colours at different levels as well as layouts of level colours both with and without a barcode.
Feel free to contact one of our consultants for more information on warehouse labels with level colours. They can offer custom advice on the use of colour and a proper label design based on the needs and requirements of your work environment.
