Custom Polyethylene Foam Tool Shadow Boards
7 September 2021Shadow boards are a device designed to organise a set of tools. The board outlines custom-cuts (silhouettes) where individual tools should be placed when they are not in use.
This very easily and quickly enables employees and workers to ascertain when (and which) device is missing from a kit and make for an efficient, uncluttered, and straightforward storage option for workspaces and work vehicles.
Benefits of Tool Shadow Boards:
- Improves accountability
- Health and safety compliance
- Uncluttered workspaces
- Efficient and simple
- Minimise inventory
- Easy to keep clean and sanitise
The great advantage of shadow boards is that they're designed bespoke to a customers' requirements, from size and density to colour and each tool's size, shape, and depth. However, they're not just for the use of tools and can accommodate many different industries, from quality inspection processes, cleaning carts, postal rooms, photography equipment and medical instruments.

The range includes ethylene copolymer, conductive and static-dissipative foams, and flame retardant and antibacterial grades in various densities, colours and sizes. Each one is non-toxic, thermally insulating and resistant to UV, moisture and chemicals.
